A good manager never thinks of
their workers as tools or resources.
A good manager gets to know
potential hires both professionally
and personally. The placement is
done considerably and often
reviewed to make sure the best
possible environment is enabled for
a worker to do their best. A good
manager dedicates a fair share of
their time to coaching their people.
