Google on the Go

A recent NY Times Sunday piece focused on how Google develops good managers and leaders. Not surprisingly they discovered the eternal truth about managers and their employees  reporting to them. These bosses and managers do not have to be as deep technically as the people they work with. What their people need is empowerment, an interest in their success and well-being and being there to both listen and share information. These activities seem so simple and yet are they evident in the manager/employee relationships you know?  In maybe 50% of situations you know? That would be high. Simple but not easy – that is exactly what these activities are. Perhaps not that different from a  ”good” parent but it does get trickier if there are two (alleged) adults working together. I will discuss some of the relationships I have observed and what gets in the way of good management in the future.
