I had what I thought was a bad manager once. Problem was, I thought he was bad, everybody else thought he was great. It's not easy to say who is right/wrong in these situations.
- whstl 4y agoIME, both can be right. Different people have different relationships. If a manager sees a report as a troublemaker, slacker, or someone overstepping, things can get difficult for the report. And likewise if a report doesn't respect a manager, or thinks they could do better, or acts competitively, the manager will have problems managing. Also IME: if a relationship between manager and report starts in the wrong foot, with impossible expectations, or even without proper recognition of each other's roles and talents, it's something that's very difficult to fix, but there's no way around fixing it. Time only makes it worse.
