I’ve actually heard that as a piece of advice from a retired Businessman. That if your in a senior leadership role. One of your advisors should be someone who isn’t necessarily fond of you. If only because they’d be more willing to poke holes in your ideas and critique and criticize your decisions. Making it easier to reveal any possible flaws in your logic and getting you to think longer about your choices.
Where as others might be incentivized to kiss ass and mindlessly agree.
