Truly great managers take a risk: they trust their employees to do their work with initiative and proactive thinking. They trust these workers to do what needs to be done each day without being nagged about it. And managers like this are also hard to come by.
That's why when workers do find a manager that they love, they tend to stick with that job for a long while. They're being productive, and it feels good! They can take care of themselves — maybe ducking out to a doctor appointment, or dropping their kid off to soccer practice — without feeling the shame of a manager's scolding. They're living their lives and being their best selves. What more could an employee want?

We need more managers like this!
Please, don't be the manager who dislikes phones. A phone is such a multitool that it's a shame to not use it. Plus, a lot of people do actual work from their phones. We have apps, email, Slack, Teams, Google Meet! We can do all this from our small screens. The busy professional on the go knows this, but it's also just convenient even for someone sitting at their desk to switch from the computer to the phone every now and then. No one wants to justify their phone time to a nosy manager. This boss just makes it easy for his workers by having a relaxed attitude about it.
