Why I dislike to be Manager
I hate being micro-managed.
I hate being told what to do by someone who doesn’t get their hand dirty or doesn’t have any knowledge about WTF they are asking about.
I hate being checked & reported day by day to somebody who doesn’t really care about my works.
I hate tedious, repeat, boring work.
I hate being told to make schedules.
This *** really take a lot of time to make and then the person who asked for it never looked at its, also the requirements change after the schedule is finished, I have to modify the changes in the schedules. It’s so frustrating and unappreciated. 
I hate working with unappreciated, irresponsible, micro-management Manager.
There is a lot of people who shouldn’t be Manager, or I think they really don’t know how to manage. They became Manager just because they have worked a long time in company and got promoted. But as they were good at their previous positions, it doesn’t mean they are good at management.
Sadly, I met & worked with very few good Managers, who good at management, open-mindset, responsible, and love the management. 
What I think Manager should be
After years of working in current company, I got promoted and became Manager, I have to lead the team, manages the projects, negotiates with clients.
I realize there is a lot of problems, difficulties when being a Leader / Manager: difficult projects, tight deadline, tricky clients, requirements changes, incorporate members…
All these problems I didn’t have to think or know about it when I was in lower junior position.
Being a good Leader / Manager is not easy, it’s super super hard, but I don’t want to be a bad, I want to be good, at least should not be bad. 
I’m now maybe not a good Manager but I keep this mindset: “Put your trust in others, be responsible person, and show appreciation to your members”
I want to share and spread this to others because I believe
Trust & Appreciate >> Respect & Care >> Happy working >> Successful projects >> Happy customers
Here are the things that I always try to do, to keep my team motivated and encourage other members to do the same to others, to be good and happy working.
- I don’t do micro-management to my members
- I trust the team, not just talk, I always try to show them how I trust them, I believe they are good & smart people
- Say “sorry” when I’m wrong & “thank you” when someone do somethings for me.
This is how I think everyone in the team should do, to show our respect & appreciation for each others. - I’m human, and my team members too, we are not machines so don’t treat each others as machines
Because machines don’t feel tired, they are just broken … but human is not like machines, sometimes we are tired, we have our own troubles, we made mistakes, it’s OK !
We cannot expect everyone to be perfect and ready every time.
I believe if I take care of my members, and they will take care mine. - Always discuss, share and respect your team members’ opinions, let they do it their ways to achieve the goals, this is what I think I should do to show my appreciation & respect to their works
- Support only when asked, not intercept
If anyone need help, just ask for its and should get response quickly as soon as possible, this is very important. - Be responsible for what I did, so that I can expect the same from my members.
Everyone can see and judge how am I, am I good or bad Leader !? I don’t want to let them down - Talk less, listen more, trust the team
If the team is discussing a topic which I don’t have knowledge about, I don’t want to ask “stupid questions” and wasting everybody time, trust their words
I try to give my opinions with the real resources / references to justify my words or only what I really expert at and can explain it clearly for everyone
I hope you enjoy reading this post, and if you are, or you want to be Leader / Manager, remember to treat others like the way we want to be treated
Thanks for reading !
