11 个月Some people are just not good managers no matter how many corporate management training courses they do. They lack the personal skills and empathy you cant learn from PowerPoint. They may also have great technical skills/knowledge, but if they cant pass that on effectively it doesn’t help those they “manage”. Others merely see management as a rung on the ladder, a box to be ticked…. They also do not make good managers as they dont have the people skills and often dont care to develop them.
