Guys, this is an old chestnut. The key word is judgement.

Years of experience, training etc are worthless if the attitude and aptitude of the recipient doesn't assimilate all this into sound judgement of a situation.

Some achieve this early in their careers, some later and some never. It needs individual assessment to determine.

Assuming it can come automatically is deeply flawed IMHO.

This applies to all leadership roles.
