Someone that suffers from Hero Syndrome will claim that things won't work
|
||
|
|
unless they are carefully watching over everything.

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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've even seen someone doing a poor job on _their job_, so things would break
|
||
|
|
and then start calling people out that he had to fix it 'cause nobody would.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't do that.

I know you can get frustrated when you're the only one realizing things are
|
||
|
|
breaking apart, but you can add some
|
||
|
|
[monitoring](/books/things-i-learnt/monitoring) 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.
