You encounter various people while being a manager. Some talented, some easily flow with people's wind, some are dedicated to be promoted to be one of the leaders.
It's really hard to be loved and respected at the same time. I remember when I first worked in an accounting firm, the manager was so soft that she never blamed me for making any mistakes, but at the same time, she never taught me anything. I was using Google and even call my aunt, who's an accountant at night to ask about the work problem.
And that firm's leader? He never looked us in the eyes, we're just a bunch of ants working for the clients he successfully negotiated with and made one deal after another.
