Bottom line

If the manager knows anyway very little , don’t be afraid to make big changes

The manager must trust others, empower them and let them do it their own way

Cultivate your managerial intuition and use it

Move, change, go - left, right, straight ahead – just do not stay at same place

Work is NOT everything in life. Have a life and you will become a better manager.
