Wow. I recently switched jobs and I was very happy with the way my new manager well... managed us. And now you write about her exact method!

Every monday morning she has a 1 on 1 chat with each one of us, followed by a quick meeting so we decide what to do during the week. Then we have something like a debrief on thursdays evenings...

The 3 meetings-a-week are great. As a worker I feel like I always know what we are up to and like my opinion is taken into account. Believe me... Rands knows what he is talking about.
