In 2023 we should be at a point where there is actual technique to management, and it’s not just a position where a department leader gets to harrass their crew and make the workplace toxic.
A manager’s duty is to know their crew and what keeps their morale and productivity high, whether that’s letting them text with their kids all day or letting them keep tabs on the Ravens game. People like to be on a team that knocks out task bullet points and reaches goals. They don’t like to be on a team where they have to escape the notice of their managers while trying to complete tasks.
The US has treated upper management and shareholders like aristocracy for so long that workplaces have gone toxic, that office and administration has to babysit bosses who behave like sex-starved pissed-off teenagers and don’t even have a coherent vision for their company. (Case in point, Elon Musk)
You are not a good manager if your crew or HR or admin has to handle you like a drunken politician.
