"Often people equate being a manager with micromanaging people, and I donāt think thatās the best way to manage. People do their best work when theyāre not micromanaged, and in many cases, they donāt need to have that much oversight.ā

How employees perceive managers
In a recentĀ surveyĀ of 3,000 American workers conducted by GoodHire, 83% of respondents said they could do their job without a manager. That number increases to 89% for finance and insurance professionals, 88% among healthcare workers, and 87% for those in hospitality, science, and technology roles. Beyond that, 84% of respondents said they could do their managerās job, and 82% said they would consider quitting because of a bad manager.
The widely shared sentiment toward managers can be traced back to two primary causes: how theyāre selected, and how theyāre trained (or not trained).

Empathetic managers
The best managers are people who genuinely care about the people they work with, and who report to them.
While managers are often promoted as recognition of their job performance, individual accomplishments are rarely a strong indicator of managerial abilities. In recent years, and especially during the pandemic, there has been a broader recognition of the importance of demonstrating empathy as a manager.

Turning to colleagues for help
Over time, the responsibilities of managersāand the number of workers who report to themāhave skyrocketed, making it more difficult to provide that hands-on assistance.
As a result, employees are turning to their colleagues for the help and advice they would have traditionally sought from a manager.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
