Old people saying: if someone already look down to others around him, that means he thought that he is at the peak and thus, he would never be moving forward again.
Many years ago, I have met a fresh graduate with his qualification of Degree in Construction Management. He join this company as a Project Engineer. As he is so fresh, he did not even know what is a 'Tower Crane' and definitely cannot do planning, presentations in a meeting or just as simple as a report. However, when he was asked to do report or site planning, he did not hesitate and look for admin or even trainee in the office to do for him. But in real, he did not understanding drawings, contract document that specified the scope of work or any job you can name. When we advice him to learn, his answer was, " I studied management, so I just manage only and don't need to do all this...." This guy, did not last 3 months in this company.
Many years later, here come a new manager in QS department, no one knew his working background or anything. After one month here, we realized that he too, cannot do pricing, did not know how to filter and check the work done by his sub-ordinate etc etc but one thing sure, he is very proud of himself, and he tells people that he WILL NOT do any paperwork as he is a MANAGER and his job is to manage only. So, every time there is a dateline, he will put his arms at his waist and ask, " sudah siap?? pukul berapa siap??" Any calculation for claim, he will throw back to site engineer and ask them to do as he said that this is not his JOB....... DDUUHHHH!!!
