The best manager I ever had, I would say, probably would be my current manager for the most part, or even one of my managers from back when I worked at No Frills. They motivated me to perform well by encouraging me and giving me praise when I did things well. They were open to the questions that I had, and they just wanted me to perform at my best and follow my goals and dreams. The method of praise worked well because a lot of the careers, jobs that I've had up to this point, I have felt very just like a number in the company. No person of real value or importance, and working in offices with either lots of people as part of a bigger company or even a few people, I work well when I am encouraged to do well. When praise or having goals and incentives, I need a clear picture of what is expected of me, and if there are issues, problems, concerns, I would like to know what they are because I can't fix what I don't know. I can't fix a broken clock if I don't know that it's broken, I guess is the best way to put it. That really helps me because a positive experience from my supervisor to me makes me feel more upbeat, and that makes me want to be upbeat and happy with the people around me.
