Great Managers

When your manager says this,
you’ve got a keeper:

I believe in you.
I’m proud of you.
I value your input.
I learn from you too.
I trust your judgment.
You make a difference.
I admire your work ethic.
Your perspective matters.
I trust you to take the lead.
It’s ok to not be “always on.”
Your personal life is a priority.
You’ve outdone yourself again.
We’re stronger because of you.
What do you think we should do?
How can I make your work easier?
Your growth is part of our success.
You’re more than just your job to us.
What do you need to be successful?
Let’s tackle these challenges together.
How do you envision your future here?
Be sure to take time off when you need it.
How can we better balance your workload?
How can I help you reach your career goals?
Your well-being is as important as your work.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Mistakes happen. Let’s learn and move forward.

A few kind words can brighten a day.
And a little thanks goes a long way.

Managers, be that kind.
Be a keeper.
