In your experience/career, what were some things that you have taken note of from various managers/leaders, that made you feel comfortable working there and providing solutions for the organization as a whole?

      One of my best managers did just that. He would tell me what my priorities were and then get out of my way, shielding me from any upper level politics as much as he could.

      Sometimes the politics would seep through despite his best efforts, but he’d minimize it as much as humanely possible.

        As someone who’s currently managing a team, when skip levels try to circumvent me, it is the absolute worst.

      The “umbrella” theory of management. The employees hold up the manager and make them look good. The manager shields them from everything “falling from above”.
