Re:Why are there so many bad managers? by jevanish on Thursday January 30, 2014 @01:02AM (#7149279)
I have the memory of a goldfish. Helping me log key things (goals, personal interests, motivators) for easy reference would be a big help. Then, giving me reminders for things that are easy to forget like team member birthdays, work anniversaries and checking in to see if I helped a team member with their personal goals in the last month would all be helpful for me. Right now I hack it with a spreadsheet and google calendar, but it's more work and much less organized than it could be.

I hope to validate if that's just me or others similarly could use help holding onto that information and providing timely reminders. I have found it's little things like what I listed above that has greatly improved motivation and morale for the handful of teams I have worked with.
