The present team?
"If they'd just leave me alone and let me manage," says the bad manager.
No need to. An average employee has no aspirations. Why would he be an effective leader?
Average employees go into management all the time. Worked for many ineffective "leaders" over the years.
And van, in his wisdom, says that people who lack the ambition to lead seek to lead.
It has nothing to do with trust. A manager who delivers results is properly managing. Some deliver those results on their own, others require the urging or intervention of their seniors.
No, they seek better pay. There are plenty of couriers who would make good mgrs but Dano, in his lack of wisdom, believes that if they aren't actively seeking to go into management then they lack that special "something" that only the obviously superior human beings have.
I can see how that’s possible.
Don't be silly. I managed plenty of couriers who would make outstanding leaders and a decent number of them went on to take leadership positions. They're pretty easy to spot.
We're talking about "average" employees, as you call them, who couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper sack. They go into management for two reasons. They want better pay and they hate courier work. They're a far cry from the ones who were good couriers with a good head on their shoulders. I've also known couriers who went into management who were damn good couriers. Some got discouraged because of the garbage they had to put up with from their bosses. In other words managers aren't always there because they're always the superior ones who are a cut above couriers which you put forth on a regular basis.
What’s wrong with being a good courier and enjoying the job? That’s your problem.
Well, that's not what I said but you've never been one to know what you're talking about.
Nothing.
Keep trying Dano. You'll get even someday for getting called out.
I have no idea what I've been called out on. You cry so much about so many different things, it's difficult to keep up.
Great, looking forward to it!
