to get along Well with his team, when you are a manager, it is essential and you should make a point of honor. Besides, you don’t see your employees as subordinates but more as “colleagues” with which you play mainly a role of leadership. Playing “small boss”, no thank you.
Suddenly, it is the cold shower. You stumble on several articles published this summer (here and here), advising that the Court of cassation (judgment of 4 July 2018) gave reason to a company that has sacked a manager that she felt she was too familiar with the teams.
