Management contributing at the wrong level harms contributors at that level.

Not understanding one’s own value causes a need to take attention, which is unfortunately common because identifying the correct level for contribution is hard. Potentially steals opportunities for growth and can lead to micromanagement conditions. Can also get in the way by mixing management process into discussions that are about collaboration such as standup. The business needs higher roles to be solving other problems.
