Effort shock is detail shock is reality shock. Many things that seem like they’d be really cool to have done turn out to require way more effort, patiently wrangling more way detail than you realized was involved, than you’re willing to invest.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1289586376887824384 …
Ie if your best idea for satisfying the urge for detail in your job leading a 1000 person org is to learn everyone's names and their kids names and birthdays... chances are you suck deeply at your job and should be fired.

I agree with that example. I guess I’m arguing that human character is a “deep detail domain” which is off-limits for direct discussion but which effective influencers exploit indirectly. This is opposed to “shallow detail domain” which is ineffective.

Of course, it’s hardly the case that every MBA is Marcel Proust delicately perceiving every tremor of their teams emotional health. So this argument has its limits! IME the management domain has less depth-of-detail. Not sure about quantity of detail. I’m still mulling on it.
