For managers, the who is the why.
- danielheath 5y agoYeah, but you also need a leader, and that role usually also falls to the manager.
- makeitdouble 5y agoManagers still get to negotiate their goals and/or what their team is supposed to do in the company. To me they are supposed to make the who and the why match, in any order it works for them.
- arinlen 5y ago> For managers, the who is the why. For managers, the "who" matters only as a factor determining the velocity and success of delivering the "why". To put it differently, no matter how well the "who" is going, if the manager cannot deliver the "why" then he will be an ex-manager. Not so much the other way around.
- leaflets2 5y agoCan you explain a bit more? Sounds as if you're saying that management is about building a team, but that the manager wouldn't personally care much about if they succeeded with the assigned tasks? S/he'd leave that to the team, trusting they got the things done?
