In general, if you want your reports to accept company decisions, it is in your interest as a manager to align your stated opinions with company policy. Openly disagreeing, or just trying to take a neutral position will only reduce faith in the company and sow unrest for which you will be held accountable.
- joxel 4y agoIf it’s in your interest to lie you should probably get a job that doesn’t make you a shithead.
- Aeolun 4y agoIsn’t that the entire purpose of being a manager? If I were just going to repeat the company line and not advocate for my team then I might as well be a rock.
- superjan 4y agoYou can and should do both. What I wrote above is a job a manager has to do every now and then, not the fun part, but also hard to evade.

In the meantime, we need to do xyz, and I need you to do abc as part of that" I have absolubtely had managers that did an excellent job of making us feel like we were in it together. In fact I'd say its one of the key skills of being a manager at all?
