Signs of a good manager
At this point in my career, I’ve only had managers that were toxic micromanagers at worst, negligent and mediocre at best. What are some signs of intelligent and competent management? Ideally ones that can be sussed out during the interview process.
I actually don’t think past Epic experience is a sign of competence as a manager. A great analyst can still be a shitty manager. Actually these Type A people have been the worst micromanagers. I’ve spoken to friends in other areas of tech who actually had non-technical folks be some of the best managers because they actually trusted their team.
