Cared For, But Ideas Ignored
Cared For, But Ideas Ignored
The manufacturing managers I worked for were good leaders. Within the constraints of their large corporate workplace, they showed care for employee welfare. The company was well-resourced, so when it did decide to spend money in an area, it could back it up.
Bureaucracy could be very heavy, and slow things down to a crawl. Processes were very heavy. They were unreceptive to new ideas as long-term managers were very, very aligned to the one way of doing business.
Be more open to novel ideas. Look constantly to break bureaucracy and top-heavy processes. Reward managers that show genuine concern for their staff's welfare and development.
