Advice to Management

Senior management increases the expectations of all managers. While some managers work diligently behind the scenes, the perception is that most managers are only socializing. This isn't helped by the fact that they only tend to socialize with each other. This isn't always the case, but from the perspective of someone who is taking back-to-back calls in queue, a group of managers discussing their weekend plans around their desks hardly seems productive or helpful. This builds a barrier between management and employees, and makes them seem unapproachable when needed. Senior managers can improve this by setting clear expectations that managers are there to support their own teams.
