My manager at an old workplace in Denmark has steadily held the position as \u201cbest ever manager\u201d during my career.
He now has to bow down to a new champion, my current manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

What makes them similar is that they are both ex-army officers with the rank to prove excellence within their respective fields..by far.
They are both not\u2013too-bad-to-rest-ones-eyes-on and they are both extremely well suited as managers in the civilian sector as well.<\/span>
None of the above are obvious given character traits for army officers so kudos to both of them just for that.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure my current manager pisses off people every now and then.<\/span>
He really doesn\u2019t beat around the bush or wait for things to solve themselves.<\/span>
He\u00b4s a doer. Without question.<\/span>
He has taken all the silly managers classes, taken the time to learn how the minds of people in a civilian workplace functions.
And then he acts.<\/span>
With thought, goal and patience.<\/span>
No screaming, no yelling, no bullying. <\/span>
Just pure, clear and rather softly padded authority.<\/p>\n

I had my annual salary chat today and I did indeed receive a salary increase.<\/span>
Believe it or not!<\/span>
Not at all a mind boggling sum, but still.<\/span>
No..the money wasn\u2019t the good thing about the chat.<\/span>
It was that this guy, manager over 250 people, has taken the time to really assess my performance and make suggestions on improvement as well as praise for what I have done really well.<\/span>
This man doesn\u00b4t miss a heartbeat. <\/p>\n

All in all: All should have the luxury, at one point or another in their life, to experience management at this level of sophistication.<\/p>\n

I have a family to enjoy, gl\u00f6gg to drink and a Christmascards to draw with WeeMan.<\/span>
Until later.<\/span>
