Most resonant quote from the article: "For more senior roles, look for dynamic range in their confidence levels." Great mental model of the types of senior people I've enjoyed working with.
I've found it's always more worthwhile to debate and work with people who have to consistently match their predictions against reality. In my life, that's been engineers that ship and money managers who tracked against a benchmark. Everyone else I'm happy to let them have the comforts of their opinions.

Yes! Fast, clear feedback loops provide such a boost!
