This Tuesday, I had a long lunch with my managers at Haidilao (海底捞).

We didn’t talk about work at all. We just caught up with each other before the Chinese New Year and after the busy January period.

A good manager can make your life better. A good manager does these things:

1. Makes your job easier by giving clear instructions and help.
2. Helps you grow by giving you training.
3. Builds your confidence with support, praise, and helpful feedback.
4. Looks after your well-being.
5. Creates a nice place to work where people respect and help each other.
6. Offers good advice and shares their knowledge.
7. Helps you deal with hard times and learn from them.
8. Makes everyone feel like they belong and work well together.

I am lucky to have not just one, but several good managers. Lim Qiu Hui, Punethawaty Munian, Chong Chee Ling, Yew Jia Chong, Shi Qing Chai and Angela Fong.

Truly blessed to have a strong hashtag#managers with me. How lucky I am to have them!

PS : Lim Nguan Lian, my client relationship manager, is not the picture due to work commitment.
