Here's the thing - this isn't bad advice, but it's the CS equivalent of "Hello world" in Python or Basic.
We don't need software to manage people. We need training for our managers. These tips are all things you should know before you ever get handed management responsibilities.

- notatechie 7y agoexactly. i think most manager are clueless as to how to really handle the team. it is sad though. managers also need handholding sometimes.
- notatechie 7y agomost companies have orientation sessions or something of this sort. I am doubtful if there is really a platform where managers are given full disclosure of the problems they will be facing. software is there to lighten the burden.
- groby_b 7y agoI've worked with a manager or three in my time. There wasn't a single one that would've performed markedly better if they just had the right software. Ultimately, management is about people, and about empathy. There's no software that truly helps with that. If we had that foundation in place, yes, there are certainly optimizations to be had. But we lack the foundation. Management software currently mostly enables people to do a bad job more efficiently.
