We’ve all had good managers who bring out the best in us, and bad managers who we avoid as much as possible.
But if we think about it, what really sets these two types of managers apart?
In The Making of a Manager, Julie Zhuo shares 8 universal qualities all great managers have and in this video, I go through the top 3 that I think make the biggest difference.

    I am more and more thinking that a good manager is a geek of procedures, ensuring that employees can deliver in a smooth way. It requires a lot of empathy and courage facing unrealistic requests from senior management. Regarding meetings, just organize workshops to involve the team or group trainings. Not just cascades or round tables.

    I think a lot of managers think they're great, but they're just micromanagers. I've ran into a few as well as some who offer zero growth opportunities nor bother to understand that motivation/productivity can't be forced. People relatively want the same things and a job is a job to most employees we want paychecks so keep that in mind, if people feel unsecure or undersppreciated and underpaid they're going to hate you. My current worry is our newest line manager forcing all the consultants in our comany to calendar block and whereas I respect it for some people that have mental health issues, pregnancy, fatigue etc...they may not be able to finish their projects by doing this. Either she's going to hire everyone who is exactly like her or we're about to see higher turnover. Should be interesting.

    Hi Kate, thanks for sharing! Totally agree that there's always a risk of managers hiring people who are exactly like them (there's a whole chapter in the book dedicated to hiring well) and I think that's why a lot of companies encourage diversity when it comes to hiring (i.e. you might agree with the way I do things, but we hold similar principles).

    A good way to give feedback is to give positive feedback more than negative feedback, especially in the beginning. "Hey Jeff, can I give you some feedback? The way you handled that presentation was fantastic and really makes your teammates look great when you put in that much effort. Can you keep that up for us please?" This helps take the edge off the word feedback too since most of the time it is something negative and probably something months old. Catch them doing what you wanted them to do and then reward them with a quick thank you. Also: I have never had a valuable O3 in my life. Either the manager was completely unprepared, only focused on them for the 30 minutes, or wanted me to play their therapist. I so rarely trust any meeting now.

    That's a great point Matthew! Julie actually addresses in the book; if you give positive feedback, be genuine about it instead of using it as part of a "compliment sandwich" (aka "good job, but you can improve, but overall good job) What's O3? Does that mean 1:1? And wow I'm sorry to hear that!

Anyway, keeping away the obvious facts, Jeff a manager is anyone who would lead a group of people, right?

  • @JeffSu

    @JeffSu

    Hi Chris! I can see why you're asking this question since there's a negative connotation that "middle management" don't really add value but if you think about it, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella are all managers! They push teams to work together and come up with innovative products that wouldn't have existed if they didn't exist. If we talk strictly about middle management, it depends on how "good" our managers are. Great managers still get their hands dirty (review code, run events, these make a "tangible" impact), and also guide us in our personal/career journeys. I would say without a doubt who I am today has been influenced by my managers and if my videos are helping others, then I think my managers have made a tangible impact 😁

    @@JeffSu I would disagree on most fronts. Your examples aren't "managers" they're "innovators". Their ideas and methods and strategies led to their success. Managing is a part of that, but it wasn't their main role. A "manager" in my opinion, is someone who watches over, critiques, and instills corporate ideology and drone-like behavior. A manager is not a leader. They're a parrot.

    My manager is a lier pretending to be a good person using other methods to embarrass you. What a wicked man he is. He is that kind that put you into difficulty and yet you will thank him for the course. I was blind didn’t know that was his approach after knowing that, he is just an awful person to work with. Compassionate, sincerity, affirmation and appreciation is the best value a manager can be. Not using tricks and approaches and manipulating staff.
