Here’s the thing: some managers think their job is to appear busy rather than actually contributing to the team’s success.
Here’s what you might see:
➡️ Busy Bragging:
Managers filling the air with words to prove their worth.
➡️ Waiting Game:
They sit back, expecting team members to come to them, perpetuating a culture where managers are seen as distant figures.
But here’s what management should be about:
➡️ Positive Influence:
Contributing to a healthy work culture and a connected, high-performing team.
➡️ Active Engagement:
Reaching out, not just waiting to be reached.
Many managers fail because they don’t know how to truly contribute, caught up in the misconception that management is about authority over action.
If you ever step into a managerial role, remember this: Be the manager you always wished you had.
Not a source of stress, but a leader who uplifts.
Lead by example, not by decree.
