In my experience as a manager and leader, I spend a lot of time trying to get engineers to care more about business outcomes than technical issues. Not because I think the technical issues don't matter. But because I know if that if you're not trying to understand business outcomes, your judgment about the technical issues is going to be much worse. Many engineers fundamentally do not believe this to be true. And it's one of the things that sets them at odds with leadership.
