It is not what you can do, it is what they can do.
"No man should be in a management position who wants to look smart at expense of others." Peter Drucker
I like Peter Drucker"s series of quotes "No Man Should be in A Management position who..." so much that I want to continue:
No man should be in a management position who does not treat everyone fairly, including those who oppose him, or do not like him.

When I was promoted to my first management position, one of my developers did not like that I got promoted, rather than him. He kept criticizing everything I did, openly and behind my back.
Later, we both received awards for a project.
At the all-hands meeting of the company I said that we both received an award for the project, he for doing all the work, and I for being his manager.
There was a loud silence in the auditorium.
From that point on, he became my ardent supporter, and I continued to be his.
--
I believe that management never needs a credit for any of the work.
I believe we must treat everyone fairly, regardless of what they think of us.
Do you agree ?
