How to Be a Good Manager

To be a good manager, it is vital to seek feedback from your team on how you can better support them. By asking specific questions like 'How could I have supported you better?' or conducting after-action reviews, managers can gauge their effectiveness. Additionally, observing how team members engage with their work and with each other can provide insight into their satisfaction. Being able to read signals indirectly, such as through demeanor and work outcomes, can indicate that the management approach is effective without needing explicit praise.
