No, your CTO shouldn't be racking and stacking routers all the time. The =
fundamental concept of an organizational hierarchy dictates that. But a CT=
O who has lost touch with the challenges inherent in racking and stacking a=
router can't effectively support his team. See the TV series 'undercover =
boss' for a (possibly trite and clich=E9d) example of this.
"Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you=
the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders withou=
t being humiliated."
