How the best manager I have ever had motivated me to perform well? Um, I've had some very good managers in the past. I'm very lucky to be a part of a team or led by someone who's, you know, kind and have always took in the time to check up on me and ensure that I'm okay. But I believe the best managers that motivate me the best would be the ones who spent some time to just be personable, not focused only on work. Learning how to socialize with me as well as like focusing on work. Understanding that sometimes, some days it might be harder than others, you know. Everyone goes through stuff, you know. Instead of just being so demanding and just so rigid, kind of understanding, hey, they do their job. They may be having a bad day right now, so what can I do to help them out? How can I make this job a little bit easier or better for them? You know, what helped me a lot was when managers would take time out of their day to help me occasionally, you know. It doesn't mean that they do crazy labors tasks or doing a lot of my assignments, but it's just the fact that they're willing to get their hands a little dirty, get themselves involved, you know. Take time out of the day to check up on me. Not to micromanage, but just to check up on me. To not just ask, oh, how's the job going or how's everything, but to actually spend a couple minutes just, hi, how are you? Is everything going good? How's life been? You know, just simple little things that make the job a little bit easier to go out. And that method worked for me because, personally, I'm not the most social person. I'm not afraid to talk and interact. I'm just a quiet person who tends to just focus on the work and I just, you know, like to go through and do it. And I think it helps me because it gets me out of that track, you know. I am so stuck in working. I'm getting myself stressed. I need to get this done, this done. I'm so rigid myself that when I have someone else that can take me a step away from that, it helps me to, like, refocus, rethink, and just re-evaluate how I'm going about this and, you know, handle the situation less stressfully.
