Anyone experiencing Data Imposters? A Data Imposter is a middle manager with no D&A experience who schmoozes more senior leadership (who they may know) stating that ‘of course’ they can deliver AI/ML value managing data scientists and engineers. I mean - they are ‘managers’ aren’t they? Leadership doesn’t really know better and gives them the role. The team becomes their management training ground for 2 years as they try to figure out what they are doing and covering their asses

Yes, and they can be pretty demoralising for technical teams. It’s essentially telling people that you don’t need technical skills to progress in your career, all you need to do is be able to talk and fake your way up.

This is such a challenging thing to overcome. On one side, technical skills and managerial skills are often diametrically opposed to each other. I find the most technically knowledgeable team members often make the worst managers. On the flipside, the best managers are often those that can translate nuances and complexity of queries, codes, and analyses to be useable by the greater business. I generally have solved the problem by having a Process/Technical Manager with no reports, for every two or three managers who actually manage people but are generally less tech saavy. The problem is that I always end up having to justify the Manager without reports.
