Truly great managers take a risk: they trust their employees to do their work with initiative and proactive thinking. They trust these workers to do what needs to be done each day without being nagged about it. And managers like this are also hard to come by.
That’s why when workers do find a manager that they love, they tend to stick with that job for a long while. They’re being productive, and it feels good! They can take care of themselves — maybe ducking out to a doctor appointment, or dropping their kid off to soccer practice — without feeling the shame of a manager’s scolding. They’re living their lives and being their best selves. What more could an employee want?
