I recently lost a manager to cancer. He was the best boss I ever had.
He was a guy whom you could go into his office and talk about anything. He’s give you advice on retirement (lol, I know), personal life advice, kick your ass into gear (if you wanted that.)
He listened, and it didn’t matter if it was about work or life. He was on your side and even if you were wrong, he’d tell you why in a meaningful way that wasn’t mean or pushy.
It’s almost hard to even explain in words, but he was a great boss.
Miss you t-dawg.
Yeah. I have found the simple act of "listening" goes so far. I had a manager whom always remembered the smallest things. Bring them up in team meetings months later. It was very motivating.
Edit: and obligatory, F*ck Cancer
