They rather you be the bad manager that plays the hierarchy game?
- ploum 4y agoYep. But it was told otherwise. Most that a manager should be a salesman. You should always sell the work of your team (to other team, to upper management). Inside my team, I should put more pressure on the underperformers. For him, it was positive (and putting pressure is a way to make employee perform so they are happy with their own work. Pressure can be done in a good way like "motivation"). For me, selling is mostly lying and putting "good" pressure is hypocrisy. The strange part is that I realized that he was right. People love him. I’m just not a good fit for any hierarchical structure.
