The Honest Manager

Is this such a shocking title? It created a storm of comments when posted on social media.

Do managers still think they need to hide their human self, to act like invulnerable superheroes?

You know that people, human beings, are quite good judges of people. You know changing a bad opinion takes a long time.

Why not just be the best human you can. Think carefully about your actions and decisions, and always be ready to explain why you made those choices.

You won’t always be right. Just so long as you made the decision for good reasons, your people will still believe in you.
