What Does Being a Manager Mean?
In my life, I’ve seen lots of managers, and interacted with hundreds of them. Some came in the form of the highest ranking representative (next to the owner/director, which are very few) that a company can assign to deal with me as a customer, or a prospective business partner.
I’ve also dealt with them in my career, when I was a subordinate. However, I never needed to have one-on-one sessions with my former managers. When I was an unenlightened worker, fresh out of college, I thought that this was because it was due to some “corporate culture” thingy… or perhaps even segregation of working class castes… or something.
As I got older, and wiser (at least operations-wise), I found that the only reason why I have virtually zero interaction with my managers was that they have done their jobs properly… in turn I too have performed very well.
