The Sunday Night Dread: Why Good People Become Bad Managers
Ever wondered why Sunday evenings bring that familiar knot of dread? For millions of workers, it's not just about ending the weekend - it's about returning to workplaces led by well-intentioned but ineffective managers. In "Good People, Bad Managers," Samuel Culbert delivers a provocative wake-up call: bad management is the norm, not the exception. What makes his perspective so compelling is that he doesn't blame individual managers but exposes the systemic forces that transform good people into bad managers. The most alarming revelation? People aren't surprised by bad management - they expect it! Employees arrive wanting to feel valued and grow professionally but instead find themselves putting as much energy into getting their boss to recognize their contributions as into the work itself. The root cause lies in American work culture, which leads managers to implement practices that contradict basic facts of human nature. They become so consumed with their own advancement that they lack capacity to focus on others' needs.
