<p>Someone that suffers from Hero Syndrome will claim that things won't work
unless they are carefully watching over everything.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>I've seen this at least two times in my professional life. Usually, those
people are actually doing so much micromanaging that they are not other
realize when things are in trouble.</p>
<p>I've even seen someone doing a poor job on <em>their job</em>, so things would break
and then start calling people out that he had to fix it 'cause nobody would.</p>
<p>Don't do that.</p>
<p>I know you can get frustrated when you're the only one realizing things are
breaking apart, but you can add some
<a href="/books/things-i-learnt/monitoring">monitoring</a> to your project, asking your
manager to show your solution -- you can even mention it on your group/daily
stand up meeting -- and pointing out to people how to realize when your
project broke. Suddenly, people will realize how to monitor theirs too.</p>
