I personally think good managers should never yell or demean others. If they’re doing this, they’re shit at their job. I’ve seen managers yell at others and their teams just seem to plow through employees. Be better, be understanding, be human. That’s all really

I had a great manager at a previous job who used to say that regardless of what the business does, if you're running a team, then you're in the people business.
