A good manager is also actively coaching their employees too. Training is important, but there is a distinct difference between the two.

- scarface74 8y agoIn 20+ years at 7 companies with 10 managers, I’ve only been “coached” by one and that was 20 years into my career as the software architect. Part of the problem was that I came into my first role as the only developer and I was responsible for building a fairly complex system from scratch. I then left and spent another 9 years at another company where I became an “expert beginner”. (https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-the-expert-beginner/ https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th...). 10 years and five jobs later, I have a manager who is technical sound, keeps up with the latest functionality of the cloud platform we are using, and can give good suggestions about what areas I should research to implement something, but I still have to do the nitty gritty details. I actually enjoy that from a manager.
