Managers have managers, though. But perhaps they’re expected to be more self-sufficient in this regard.

I wouldn’t want to be a manager precisely for this type of thing, the ability to absorb stress / pressure from within the organization and relay it in an orderly fashion to your team.



When you are a manager, having a good manager becomes even more important. I enjoyed my time leading a team for exactly this reason.

Working now at a startup, there is little to no management and I find myself wishing for good leadership.
