The best manager I ever had was one of a recent previous manager, he would kill my productivity by talking to me for hours on end about things where he could see where I was heading in a certain direction and wander himself, wander me into his childhood telling me about some story and how he came out of it. It was very mentoring and he very regularly offered little bits that helped steer me away from things that he could see would snowball into something bad and I mean not that he needed to frequently steer me but he was just, I felt his authority as a supervisor but he almost seemed paternal and in fact he left my previous job about three years ago and we're still in contact and he's still emailing me about job thoughts that he, you know, like here's a direction I think that you do well in and I really appreciate everything about him. I mean I come to him for advice on a personal and professional level regularly.
