I just finished reading this book and wanted to share my notes as I am building my own skills at being a more effective manager.
Give specific advice and advice - the more timely and specific shows that the manager pays attention and recognise the additional effort to get right
Prepare for 1:1s - A fully prepared manager at 1:1 shows that they prioritise the team member rather than just their work. Fully prepared doesn’t mean they know all the answers, but rather they cam prepared with relevant questions to help us decide on next steps.
Great managers take the time to listen to their employees' perspectives and provide feedback in a way that is tailored to their individual needs and learning styles!
Once they pick a reasonable strategic direction, they move quickly to learn what works and what doesn’t and make adjustments on the go.
