Do you believe that the DPL is not a management position ? In a recent discussion with Josip, we were talking about management vs leadership and he concluded that the DPL can't do much leadership because the real decisions are taken by all the teams/delegates, however his position is surely one of management since he needs to make sure that all teams interact correctly and they can rely on each other with confidence. There's some truth in that and I certainly expect a DPL team to have a big role to play in management and coordination. Contrary to Josip, I do think there's some leadership left, but only if he has enough time to invest in actually doing things instead of discussing with everybody.
