"Or, how has a great manager helped you grow your career?"

I don't think I've ever had a great manager. None of my managers have done anything to help me grow.




I've had some amazing managers who have truly helped me but I have also had lots that wanted to:

* lead instead of manage.. which leads to them not being a good manager

* be a servant leader.. which leads to undefined requirements

* be a mentor.. where they give no actual help or advice but try re-frame any questions as alternative questions


"be a servant leader.. which leads to undefined requirements"

That's what my organization is pushing now.
