-: I think a good manager, manages you.
But, I think a great manager is your advocate.
A great manager opens doors for you.
A great manager understands the platform that they have
and wants to actively see you go above and beyond.
I've had managers who were content with me just coming in
and doing my job and going home.
That's fine.
It takes a lot of people to make the world go around.
That's true and I've learned that even more as I get older.
But to have managers that sit back and say,
"Hey Lance, you're not performing where you may need to be.
This is what you need to do to get back
to where you should be at.
Hey, I heard about this opportunity
in this other department, I know you've been speaking to me
and you're kind of interested in these things.
Would this be something that I can put you towards?"
So, really having a manager that definitely
opens up doors for you is really big.
'Cuz it makes you feel good.
I mean, my manager today, she would record me speaking
in certain meetings and then send it out to the team,
saying, "Hey, look what Lance is doing,"
and addressing me things.
It really made me feel really supported.
It made me feel like I had a team and a family
because, I didn't expect you guys to care but you do care.
So, that's definitely a big thing.
When you can definitely have a manger
who's invested into you and doesn't feel like
if you're going out and you take another job somewhere
that looks bad on them, no.
The fact that we were able to develop you
and train you and now you're out here
doing bigger and better things,
makes me look better as a leader,
so people would want to come to my team.
So, I think that's what separates the two.
