What Jamie wrote

Solid set of recommendations that could be applied for any manager at any level. This is a reduction of the points in Laraway's book When They Win, You Win, which I’m adding to my reading list now. The focus is on three key areas:

Direction: Good managers ensure that every member of their team understands exactly what is expected and when it is expected.

Coaching: Good managers coach their people towards both short and long-term success, helping them understand what they should continue to do and how they can improve.

Career: Good managers invest in their people’s careers in a way that considers their long-term goals and aspirations beyond the four walls of the current company, and certainly beyond their next promotion.

Good article and a lot of thought provoking suggestions.
