My leadership team had their first call with the individual who is replacing me as their leader. He started sending test messages for boarding compliance with whether or not the flight boarded on time, if there was a failure, what happened and did the flight take a delay. I've heard about GMs who run a super tight ship.
As I saw the test messages my heart sank. While I was their boss, I made a deliberate effort to be the kind of boss I would want to work for. I always laid out the expectation and held them accountable for it. I didn't make them do things that I considered stupid or degrading.. I didn't intimidate them. I didn't harass them. I didn't demand that sort of perfection from them.
So... it will be interesting for them. I didn't want them to be afraid to make a mistake or fail. I wanted them to improve and do their best. I didn't want them cutting corners or rushing to make the departure. I wanted them to run a safe and effective operation.
I've worked under asshole managers. I vowed never to be one. I guess this is what the company wants.
