> If you're a poor manager of your organization's current style of work, is that still poor management, even if you're a good manager in a different setting?

can we stop making excuses for people?

management is about people, unless you're literally moving to a different culture (and I don't mean company culture), your failures as a manager are yours.

I can tell you that my current manager is ruthless in that he has no issues getting rid of someone if they're not pulling their weight. I appreciate that about him. He also always has our back.

Put him in an organization in which it's more challenging for him to influence our work and I'm confident I would still enjoy him as a manager. The work might not be as successful but I'm smart enough to recognize the walls my manager runs into as well.
