Hi Shawn, great managing quotes you have submitted here. I enjoyed reading them.
I believe that every organization needs great managers, and the individual that is able to delegate tasks with ease, have the correct attitude and the ability to motivate their employees, will be highly valued.
Ultimately, a great manager is somebody who can make the sum of a team greater than a collection of individuals. Great managers handle people with grace and ease, caring for them and encouraging them to achieve their goals. Finally, a great manager allows the team to flourish and creates value to each individual as well as to the company.
