I think the lack of specificity is a fair criticism of what I wrote in the piece, but this is also something I was very aware of when I wrote it, which is why this caveat is included:
> The management principles below reflect lessons I have learned the hard way. These are things I wish I would have known and internalized when I first became a manager. By keeping this brief, I hope that it will be easily consumed, perhaps at the cost of people being able to fully understand each point.
Maybe at some point, this expands into multiple pieces or a short book, but for now, this is what I've produced. It won't be specific enough to be useful to everyone, but hopefully some folks find it helpful.
There is no manual to being a good manager. Only ideas you can project into your own approach.
