The person in charge of the program should be unusually productive/work long hours/etc. because otherwise, they would lack the mindset, tacit knowledge, and intuitions that go into having an environment optimized for productivity. E.g., most people undervalue the time and time of others and hence significantly underinvest in time-saving/convenience/etc. stuff at work.
(Sorry if mentioned above; haven’t read the post.)
I am uncertain whether it’s important for program leads to be hard-working for the reason you describe. (I am very confident that hard-working-ness helped me personally a lot, but it doesn’t feel obvious that this went through the ‘understands hard-working-ness in others’ channel.)
Very, very strongly agree with the importance of an environment that values people’s time very highly. Small changes/mindset shifts here can have outsized impact. Lots of room for improvement too.
(Parts of this are covered under “basic amenities” but definitely more to add.)
