To promote more active contributions, should SVP's and Directors with Hands-On experience be paid more than pure managers ?
This motivates them to contribute more and avoid playing "Managerial politics".

It is other way in Citi for sure! Cheer leaders and politicians got high pay and promotion. Hand on means you are not part of the game but just some useful tools to be around
It's funny how far from logic Citi is.
Now for as long as we have had a method, we have known not to put stock in people without temperance or self-control.
Does Lofthouse look like a man of self-control?
You’re asking too much. Tech seniors like Lofthouse have no philosophy and technical vision at all. They are just a politician. Come to think of this, they are so incompetent so that Jane even had to pull BCG to do reorg instead of doing it by themselves.
That won't help. They ll still do politics. Some "contributing" manager keep some jiras/task under their name and there's no timeline no deadline for those,they keep on extend the timeline and then at the end either they broke due to last min change (then also they come as if they are savior) else if business pushes they assign it to someone else and then start pushing them.
Now say an already assigned jira/task suddenly getting too much focus, they assign more jira to that person and either take away that from them by making sure they don't have any more bandwidth for it. How to handle these kind of cheap tricks?
