What you should know
- While these are great generalizations, always consider the context of any managerial issue before you go with it.
- All employees and managers are different. Don’t expect to be perfect, and don’t expect everyone to respond in the same way.
- Don’t expect everyone to respond with gratitude when you mentor them either.
- These sketches can only do so much!
