Ah, the ideal manager — a rare figure often discussed during breaks, appraisals, or over coffee.
We all dream of working under someone who gets us, inspires us, and magically removes all workplace frustrations.
Now, let’s be honest — most managers are either micromanaging robots or landlords who show up only when there’s chaos.
So, what makes an actual ideal manager?
First, they don’t constantly watch or pressure you about every little task.
Trust is key — because if you hired me for my skills, maybe, just maybe, let me use them.
A great manager is like a GPS—they guide and course-correct, but don’t grab the wheel and scream, “LET ME DRIVE!” every five minutes.
PS: In this case, just hand over the wheel to him and start looking for another company — or at least consider it.
Second, they know that meetings are the corporate version of a black hole—sucking in time and energy.
A smart manager trims the fat.
Do we really need a 90-minute discussion on font sizes? No. We don’t – Fuck it.
And finally, an ideal manager recognizes that happy employees actually do better work.
Radical idea, right?
Instead of treating workers like replaceable cogs, they motivate, appreciate, and should I say —make your work or life enjoyable?
At the end of the day, the ideal manager isn’t a unicorn.
They’re just decent human beings with leadership skills.
Sadly, that’s a rare combination — but I found mine in Rohan Bhargava and Lavesh Dewangan.
What’s your take on your manager?
