I want a manager who• Delivers Results• Tells me what I'm doing right and wrong• Tells me what I need to improve on, and gives me the
resources to do so• Stays out of my way but somehow knows when I
need him/her to step in• Is confident, clearly in charge and doesn't constantly
need to get approval• Manages with love - no yelling and the more humor
the better

Things I was right aboutIf people don’t think you’re crazy, your ideas might not be as great as you think they are.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.“
