I always like hearing from readers – you often learn more from them than from management textbooks. Yesterday was no exception.
I’d recently written a piece, “The Surest Way To Spot A Good Manager,” and an old colleague and friend Thomas Henry had sent me a note quite rightly taking me to task on it.
My point in the article was that three attributes – integrity, a positive optimistic approach, and low turnover – were vital in helping prospective job seekers find high-quality management. Well, though these three definitely are solid managerial qualities, they’re also not close to being an optimal or comprehensive list. Which was exactly Thomas’s point.

An old business joke:
CFO asks CEO: “What happens if we invest in developing our people and they leave us?”
CEO: “What happens if we don’t, and they stay?”
