Thoughts on academic supervising
================================

Once you start leading people, you have a different job.  You are no
longer responsible for doing things yourself, but to get the best out
of the people who work for you.  Given the amount of stress and
problems that young researchers tend to have, it's worth thinking
about this role some.

Academic supervising is a bit unique because it's a delicate balance
of independence and teaching, of workers who are constantly coming and
going.
