How to Be a Manager Everyone Wants to Work for
<p>Sometimes what you really want is the opposite of what you think you want.</p>
<p>My first boss was a jerk. We all felt it. And yet he was <em>our</em> jerk.</p>
<p>People stuck with the company for years because he used his general jerkiness to make our lives pretty simple. His demeanour meant nobody messed with the department. Because nobody wanted to take on the jerk. He was a deterrent. Idiot repellent.</p>
<p>And he was smart enough to stay out of our way and leave us to get on with stuff.</p>
<p>Does this mean we should all be jerks? Maybe. But it’s not the fact he was a jerk that made him a great boss. It was what he did despite that.</p>

<p>But you demonstrate what you value by what you fight for.</p>
<p>Whether pushing back against superiors, giving people the benefit of the doubt when they screw up, or making a tough decision to solve a problem, make sure to stand up when you need to.</p>
<p>And it doesn’t take much. When you’re afraid, act anyway. That’s bravery. Because there is no courage without a little fear.</p>
