Not everyone is a natural prompt user and some people are simply paralysed by fear of any new technology.
I have a new controversial opinion: managers who are bad at prompting large language models are bad managers . Not because they are missing out on the productivity benefits everyone else is reaping, but because they are bad at managing.The data is still a bit thin because there are entire spheres where, south of the C-suits and their inevitable fascination with tools that promise hyper-productivity, AI remains the stuff of myth.
To a high likelihood, that person has a basket of traits desirable in any manager: curiosity, patience, attraction to innovation, perseverance.Have you ever tried to get ChatGPT to whip up, say, a medium-complexity Python script? You need a very clear vision of what you are trying to achieve. Then you need to break down alterations into the smallest possible steps, while maintaining a zen-like attitude when you have to iterate again and again to get one small thing done just to get to MVP.
If, like me, you've been identified as being in dire need of management training at any time in the past quarter century or so, you'll recognise those as exactly the skills consultants will try to beat into you: clarity in communicating objectives, atomised instructions, constant diligence in oversight.Not everyone is a natural prompt user to be sure, and some people are simply paralysed by fear of any new technology.
What we haven't had until now was a clear, unambiguous, low-cost, scalable way to differentiate between fundamentally good and fundamentally bad managers in a context of technological progress that means you won't necessarily fall foul of pesky employment rules.
