A friend and I had an interesting conversation some time ago where we talked about good supervisors that we had (& conversely) bad supervisors. I noted some of our thoughts for a later (now) blog post as I've come across an article that fits really nicely into this theme.The obvious bad managers were micromanagers or those that were abusive (throwing things, yelling, rampant favoritism/selective punitive treatment, etc.). However, in our conversation, we agreed that management is a spectrum; although at some point those in the middle will tip towards bad or good.

Interesting article about the impact of social media on employee skill expectations and the rise of social media training programs. “Pamela Tate, president and chief executive of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, based in Chicago, said digital literacy, including understanding social networking, is now a required skill. They are essential skills that are needed to operate in the world and in the workplace,” she said.
