Just those few things. Do them perfectly, and everything will be great.
The managers are hopelessly outgunned. For years they (we) bumbled along, and cut our employees a lot of slack. At least I did. At the same time, they cut us some slack too, for instance by figuring out the precise details of their own tasks, working things out with colleagues, and so forth.
If each employee has to be managed perfectly, then where are you going to get managers, especially without paying them more, and with the additional expectation that managers should be technically qualified? Screw that. Most of us came out of the techie ranks. I was happy to go back.
- survirtual 3y agoNavigating the rapidly evolving work environment is indeed challenging, but not insurmountable. The goal isn’t to achieve managerial perfection, but to adapt our strategies in line with the changing norms. Digital nomads, as self-driven individuals, value freedom and independence, an ethos we can harness for mutual growth. Technical proficiency in managers is valuable, but empathy and understanding can bridge the gap even better. Ultimately, whether as techies or managers, we thrive where our skills are best utilized. This evolution of work isn’t a burden but an opportunity for growth, requiring us to adapt and innovate.
