The Unicorn that is a Great Manager

I’ve had terrible managers, from those who can’t distinguish me from other members of my race, to those who intentionally tried to hold me back professionally, to those who have come into my office screaming about a politically charged topic only to become irate when I disagreed. I’ve also had some really good managers that have promoted my professional growth, and sometimes even my personal growth. These were managers who could do their jobs well, and made me feel like a part of a team. And I’ve had some mediocre managers bordering on good, folks who were competent at their jobs, but did everything they could to hide from conflict, real or imagined, even at the expense of their teams.
