What is your best managing people advice?
Everyone who has become a supervisor or manager of people at any organization usually learns a lot of lessons pretty quickly.
What is wisdom you deem fit to pass along? |

I told a relatively famous streamer kid that worked for me, "I don't care. "
Talked to HR for 2 hours. Shut up if you don't like paperwork.

The best managers steer a group meeting to the manager’s desired outcome, but makes the group feel it’s their idea.

Listen. Adjust to what works for people.
Firm, consistent, well known boundaries are a must. When a situation is over, it’s over. Don’t let things get awkward after having a difficult discussion.

don't try to be people's buddy and treat everyone exactly the same, according to company policy.

Develop a skill/value as an individual contributor that gets you paid like a people leader
If you can’t, then encourage autonomy and accept the role of clearing obstacles for those who know more about the day to day than you |

A lot of times in IT there are relatively few people who complete a large percentage of the work, and not going to bat for the most driven/most productive people because it's not fair across the group can be more damaging than the shitheads calling you a bad manager because you seem to play favorites. For example... say your best employee who puts in 50-60/hrs per week and is a rockstar needs to work from home one day per week or needs to start coming in at 9am but will surely still get their hours in.... Do you say "well, if you did that, I'd have to say yes to everyone" while thinking you really can't trust a few on your team to work remotely because they don't seem to do much in the office. ...or do you say, of course you can, and then be transparent to others if anyone asks.

Don't be a bossy prick. Be respectful and work through mistakes in a kind and communicative manner. Low morale is a killer in any work environment. People that work under you should feel happy and loose coming to work. Yet, at the same time, respect their workplace enough to do the work they get paid to do.
Never ever micromanage your subordinates.

Start by hiring good people. Attracting quality candidates and vetting them thoroughly and finding qualities that will fit the position well will avoid a lot of troubles later

Information. Pass it along as to why decisions are made. Very helpful as a managing tool. Don't keep employees in dark as best you can.

I honestly don't give a **** what their preferred pronouns are, and I never will. I'll call someone by whatever name they prefer but that's about as far as it goes. With that, I try to use language that removes the "pronoun" component. I use the person's name and neutral words like they/them/their whenever possible. If you have a large workforce and you start catering to pronouns, you not only have to try to remember hundreds of names and faces but also the words that won't get people's feelings all hurt. So, maybe that's something future managers can find useful... Plenty of great advice already in this thread otherwise. |

The most successful way to manage people is - how you treat them. Show them you care about them and relate to them. You can’t relate to everyone the same, there is no black and white clear cut way. That doesn’t mean become a pushover. You can be stearn and confident yet still show people that you care.
