Being A Good Boss

People don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses. And usually when they cease to see a path for progression or growth for which a good boss is instrumental.

This edition of Narrate is about managing and being managed.

A great manager can make a huge difference to both your day-to-day experience as well as your long-term prospects, but a great manager is not automatic. Most managers lack training or formal guidance for the managerial role. Of course, a bad manager is awful.

“Nine times out of ten, when an employee says they’re leaving for more money, it’s simply not true. It’s just too uncomfortable to tell the truth.”
(Alison McMahon)

So how do we get better at this? Fortunately, there’s great material here. The attached links are aimed at making the task of managing a tad easier and being managed, a little more effective. If nothing else, a shared article might facilitate a conversation that needed to happen.

Enjoy!
