The Two Types Of Managers - Deepstash

The Two Types Of Managers

  • The first kind of managers are having the industrial age ‘productivity’ mindset, and believe that workers are not willing to work by default and need to be trapped in rules and regulations. Sick leaves are perceived as an excuse not to work.
  • The second kind of managers trust their employees and see them as responsible adults. They empower their workforce to take time off when needed, even encouraging them to go offline completely and focus on rest.

A good manager has to be understanding and empathetic, building a bond with the employees through genuine care.
