Ten Things Managers Wished They Believed

Kathy Sierra has another great post, this time on lies managers tell. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I’ll say these are ten things managers honestly and truly wished they believed. They probably even themselves think they believe these things. They say them because they know these things really are the mark of great employees.

But talk is cheap. If you want to know what someone really believes, look at what he does, not at what he says.

Managers who actually believe these things are few and far between.

You don’t have to go far to see why I agree so strongly with Kathy. Just recently, I wrote about initiative, comments that she now echoes.
