Is it me or is it a moot point to respond to the posts related to bad managers? Though there may be legitimate ones out there, how many take a moment to self check to see if they are the problem?

Wait, you’re asking people to take responsibility for their own interactions? Accountability is a bad word…

I deliberately made my response in a way that left it up for interpretation.

Here’s my hopefully less ambiguous take:
As a manager I try to lead my team with kindness. Which means that I hold the team to high standard of performance, do everything I can to remove obstacles that get in their way, expect them to tell me when they encounter such obstacles, push them to branch out and expand their capabilities, give them opportunities to do just that, help them find the learnings when failure happens so that they don’t make the same mistakes twice, communicate transparently, and highlight their accomplishments up the chain.

This approach is great because it puts ownership of their performance on them but also provides the safety net they need to walk with confidence.

It would not work for some of the folks who comment on here about their awful managers because it relies on my team choosing to push themselves to excel and being willing to tell me when they are struggling. It seems that many folks here would be unwilling to do that based on their posts here.

So coming up to my 3 years at UK KPMG Audit, and I got an offer from a food delivery tech company (think Ubereats, Deliveroo, Doordash etc) for a performance analyst type role which monitors/reports metrics for the Operations.

I'm interested in tech and thought this was a possible to foot in the door for future financial roles in tech.

Was wondering if anyone has thoughts on such roles or...is it a dead end approach.
