This gives us the space to mess around with process like we like to do. Managers I've had that have really helped me grow are ones who help me think through things that need to get done (sometimes with "I don't know, you're the specialist"), and ones that have helped me think through the best ways to do things ("You're trying to fix everyone's problems, and that's not your job, what is a better approach?").<br /><br />Think about what kinds of things they find rewarding -- is it getting credit for big work? is it taking a lead in some kind of training? is it just being left alone? I think it really depends on the person. <br /><br />If you do have to check up on something, or if you want to just check in with somebody, bring a question or something else small, to use as a starter. "So about this DVD order... and how is everything else..." That kind of thing works well with me.

In short, how do I support them and then get the hell out of their way? Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789962762129488805noreply@blogger.com
