This counter-response updated my views quite a bit, thanks! Maybe a way to reconcile the two views in a specific example:
Should I implicitly encourage or discourage working on weekends?
Strategical alignment/understanding: Ultimately at some level the answer to this question depends on what the organisation is trying to achieve and the philosophical trade-offs its leadership are willing to make.
Experience: But in order to make that decision, you have to know what the effects of more or less working on the weekends would actually be. And effects on organisational culture can be gradual, so you need to have observed this process to be able to predict it well.
You don’t necessarily need to have both capacities in the same person, as long as there’s appreciation of the respective areas of expertise.
