So the best manager I've ever had is my current manager, and she motivates me to perform through her very direct method of communication. She expresses her expectations in a very clear and concise way, which makes it easier for me to understand and then meet those expectations. She doesn't leave any room for misinterpretation or guesswork, and I really appreciate that honesty and directness. She also very much respects her employees and welcomes employees to come into her office and talk to her about anything, whether it's about a suggestion to improve or an issue that's in a room, and she makes her employees feel heard, which provides this foundation of mutual respect. And I feel like when there's mutual respect between the employee and the manager, both parties are motivated to work well together and accomplish more.
