Chris Collins argues that accounting training for service managers overcomplicates debits and credits when the real goal is practical understanding, not turning them into accountants. He connects professional competence to personal identity, noting how people tie self-worth to their work.
Yeah, most of the training out there, like nada. And that sort of stuff leaves them more confused about it than they were before.
It just gets super complicated and they just come back going, well, I, I kind of understand what a debit and a credit is. And that really is. We're not trying to make service managers accountants. Yeah, they dive too far into that part of it. Yeah, it's, it's, you know, there's just a simpler way to look at all this and understand all this. So we have somebody who is.
Been living their whole life under the, under the assumption that they're doing a good job or they're good at what they do, especially us dudes, right?
