Largely agree that middle or rather direct managers are often the linchpin to motivation and happiness.
What can be terrible as a middle manager is the inability to address the who gets promoted dynamic. Many the immediate tools are unsatisfying or medium term detrimental.
- shermantanktop 3y agoWhat can be terrible for everyone else is seeing a manager force through a promotion of a bad or weak employee, who now makes even bigger messes that everyone else gets to deal with. This appears at times to be a perverse status game - “I have so much pull I even got Joe promoted.”
