How Great Managers Fast-Track Careers and Bad Managers Hold Them Back

I’ve had 10 bosses in 10 years of my corporate career.

The worst managers:
  • Micromanaged everything I did.
  • Failed to give clear directions.
  • Undermined my confidence.
  • Ignored my boundaries.
  • Played favorites.
The best managers:
  • Recognized my hard work.
  • Gave constructive feedback.
  • Advocated for my promotion.
  • Empowered me to make decisions.
  • Put me up for high-visibility opportunities.
My managers either fast-tracked my career or held it back.
