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. |
