This article hits on something I've noticed before that is perhaps obvious to many but always seems unintuitive to me: past a certain point, generic "management" skill is the limiting factor irrespective of domain. Sure, it helps to have domain knowledge, and it's more important in some areas than others. But for a service-oriented business, hiring, organization, and client management (growth + retention) dominate at scale. Helps understand why people good at those things get paid so much despite "knowing nothing" about the business they're managing (in some cases).
