What Iâm pushing against is the assumption that employees love outsiders coming in and telling them all the things they are doing wrong, and if they donât like you pointing out their mistakes it must mean you are âoverqualifiedâ.
I actually hear the opposite more frequently: having a more junior title makes it easier for people to listen to your suggestions, because itâs less threatening for you to point out mistakes.
