My Thoughts
I was thrown to the 'wolfs' early in my management career with little guidance or mentoring. This training would have given me a frame of reference and understanding about knowing that it really isn't about you success, it's really about your minions success.
I am fortunate to have, as a family member, a person who has been a supervisor for some time. She enlightened me about this exact point Phillip. We, the managers, are looked at as doing a good job, if the folks we have reporting to us, are happy. It is definitely sage advice.
