Being A Good Manager Is A Noble Pursuit

The Very Definition of What it Means to Be A Manager Is Changing…  What made you a great manager a month ago, will not do the same today.   Everyone - no matter what your position in a company is - is learning how to do their job another way.   You constantly hear “We Are All In This Together” and we truly are. To help support the Managers that I work with, I put together a brief 3 minute video to share some tips that can help them be an effective manager for their employees.  This resonated with so many, that I decided to share this with everyone - whether a customer of PILOT or not - we are happy to help all businesses in any way we can. Eight simple steps, ranging from empathy, agility, lowering expectations and celebrating small wins, can make a world of difference to your employees - both personally and professionally.
