How Long is Your Management Nose
How Long is Your Management Nose
Long-nosed managers sniff around in everyone’s business. Short-nosed managers seem disinterested, aloof, and uncaring.
How long should a manager’s nose be? One size doesn’t fit all.
My preference:
I preferred managers with short noses. Over-involvement offended me.
Don’t you trust me?
Do you think I’m incompetent?
Don’t you have something better to do?
But, there’s more to the story. A few affirmations fueled my fire. An occasional, “How are things going?”, let me know they cared.
You’re a nagging meddler that doesn’t trust me if you’re over-involved. Too little involvement and you’re an uncaring jerk.
A manager reading my preferences might feel damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
