And sadly, in this day and age of Emotional Intelligence questions and "empathetic listening", too many agencies still are not teaching managers how to manage. I don't care if you're the best account lead/planner/creative - being great at your job doesn't mean you're inherently a great manager. It needs to be taught and cultivated.
