   @nugger @Goban Actually the other day a boomercon was complaining about how his kid is a burnout, and after trying to get him to see things from the kid’s POV (which is partially right, partially wrong but the kid needs repair, not recycling) I finally pointed out that the reason he turned out the way he did is that dad was never around to actually be a father to him.

   He was so proud of his career but it became fairly obvious that he burned everything on that altar. His marriage, his family, his life, all of it turned to ash on the altar of Delta Airlines and his high-paid jetset life of travel and consultancy.

   You can tell real quick when there’s a good relationship, you actually talk and know about each other. He didn’t know anything about his kids’ dating history, struggles, or goals. Fathers like that bother me because they’re just managers of their family, not real leaders. And there’s a huge chasm between those roles. Most managers believe they’re a leader, but they’re nothing but a distant overseer.
