    Solid article and great advice in my opinion. One simple takeaway for me is managing well means being accessible to your team at all times. I completely agree that managers shouldn't encourage criticism of other team members, even by staying silent when it happens.

    If you need to call something out, do it as a team, including yourself as accountable as well. That keeps trust intact and avoids finger-pointing. Thanks for sharing.
