I have evaluated over 8000+ individuals in more than 7700+ hours in my previous job. Then I read hundreds of scientific reports on Personality psychology and human emotion.

And this is my guide to how you can become a successful manager in any company or organization. I hate to break it to you. But not all people are meant to be managers or leaders.

You simply cannot teach this, no matter how much you believe that to be true.

Here are the basic components of a good manager that you need to have:

Lesson #1: Listening

Surprisingly, the majority of people think they are good listeners.

Well, I am here to tell you that you are most likely a crappy listener. And here is why.

Many people suffer from imposter syndrome. Which in short means that you do not think you should have the job you are in because you do not know what you are doing. That might be true in most cases.

Most people will think about what to reply to when someone is speaking to them instead of paying attention and trying to be curious enough to understand what the other person is saying.
