Memo to managers: Practice what you preach
Misty Geer, CPA, CGMA, believes that strong management goes beyond ethical behavior, efficiency, and carrying out company strategy — even though each of those is important. Managers are a key reason that employees show up to work engaged or not. Geer, the controller for a chemical manufacturer, explains how managers can live their values, set clear expectations on schedules, engage in two-way communication, and more.
