What type of manager brings out the best in you?

"I work best with managers who take a little time to get to know their employees -- I think that's the secret to a strong team. If you know your employees' likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, you can build a stronger, more hard-working team. The best manager I ever had took time each quarter to get to know her employees on a personal level by taking each of us out for coffee during work hours. These 10-Minute Meetups, as she called them, became a really important part of our team's success, and I've always really admired the way she managed her team and the store."
