How did the best manager you ever had to motivate you to perform you well, why did that method work? I think the best manager I ever had was a manager that wouldn't detain me in the sense of if I wanted to learn something and I wanted to move forward and learn something new or help others, they would allow me. I was able to learn many positions, I was able to be a very good help to my other workers and it was a great motivation to know that I'm not just useful in one case but in many others.
