...which is why they shouldn’t be managing people.

I have strong feelings about this. I think the vast majority of issues are a result of poor consulting leadership. Properly setting expectations with the client goes a long way here.
I know it’s not 100% the case. I was on an abusive relationship case where I almost got into a couple fights with a client and was rolled off a bit early.
