A truly great boss cares for her people so much she doesn’t strive to be the best but the worst, so everyone around her shines brighter by comparison.

This could use some rewriting before you post it on instagram with sparkles all around it. I agree, “striving to be the worst” is not what you want to say

Yeah dunno about “striving to be the worst”.

There’s a difference between letting your people shine, and being bad on purpose.

lol “striving to be the worst” is stupid.

If you need your boss to be their worst in order for you to shine by comparison, your agency has a big hiring problem.

Of course. You can’t push people up unless you’re at the very bottom.

This is the stupidest post I've seen here in a while. It reeks of misguided millennial entitlement. A good manager tries to hire and support people who have the capacity to outshine them but they don't take a dive. They lead by example and show what good is. Ewww.

Try gen z. Millennials are your aging 30-somethings too jaded to even care about being the best or worst

My question, why does this best boss ever gotta he a woman?

I think saying “she” was for extra intersectionality wisdom points—but going around the agency saying your female ECD is the worst person there is gonna get you in trouble

No, that is a much better idea than this. He’s at the core but the place keeps building, etc.

Caring for your people through the “I spilled ketchup on my blouse so you could score a date with Jim from accounts” does wonders for your teams emotional health.

🤯 This explains why people say I make leadership look so effortless!

You’re confusing “Mentor” with “Martyr”.

Dude, stop quoting Michael Scott to Fishbowl. They don’t like it.

Why would your strategy to elevating your team be being the worst? There's also nothing really actionable here, and I'm not sure you'd even understand the point without already having the knowledge this is meant to convey.

Lovely intent but the execution is terrible.

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.

The chill one with the most relaxed approach where they almost come off monotone.

The one who has too much energy and noticeable anxiety.
