Does it make a difference if the manager has done the job before they get promoted to management? I think it counts for a lot. If they've been on the front line, then they understand the highs and lows, the challenges and pitfalls, the realities of the job. They can empathise better. And empathy isn't optional in a management role. Because here's what great managers understand: ↳ Empathy isn't a soft skill, it's a superpower ↳ Understanding your team's world changes the game ↳ True leadership starts with feeling their pain Let's break down why empathy matters: ✅ It builds trust ↳ When you've walked in their shoes, you earn respect ↳ Teams follow leaders who get their struggles ✅ It drives performance ↳ Understood employees are engaged employees ↳ Empathy fuels motivation like nothing else ✅ It solves problems faster ↳ You can't fix what you don't understand ↳ Real solutions come from real insight Smart leaders know this: ❌ Don't fake it ↳ Nodding along isn't enough ↳ Surface-level empathy destroys credibility ❌ Don't ignore the signals ↳ A stressed team is a reflection of leadership ↳ Ignored problems fester and explode ❌ Don't stop learning ↳ Your team's world changes daily ↳ Great managers are always tuning in Because here's the reality: → Empathy isn't found in management books → It's forged in the trenches with your team → Your greatest insights come from their daily grind The best managers: ✅ Do the actual job ↳ They feel the deadlines, the stress, the pressure ↳ They know what good (and bad) really looks like ✅ Listen actively ↳ They ask tough questions and shut up ↳ They take notes, not just nods ✅ Roll up their sleeves ↳ They don't hide in meetings ↳ They jump into the chaos to truly understand Your job as a leader? Create an environment where empathy thrives. Here's how to start: 1️⃣ Spend a day in their world ↳ Feel the strain. Understand the pressure. 2️⃣ Sit with your team regularly ↳ Ask: "What's the hardest part right now?" 3️⃣ Remember your own struggles ↳ Recall how it felt when you faced similar issues 4️⃣ Offer real help, not clichés ↳ "How can I help?" beats "You'll be fine" every time 5️⃣ Remove roadblocks actively ↳ Spot problems, fix problems, build trust 6️⃣ Celebrate small wins loudly ↳ Recognition fuels motivation. Amplify success. 7️⃣ Never belittle their stresses ↳ Every struggle is valid. Period. Because here's the truth: If you're leading without empathy, you're not leading. You're just managing badly. The cost of low empathy? ↳ Higher turnover ↳ Lower productivity ↳ Poor mental health ↳ Zero loyalty The question isn't whether empathy matters. It's whether you're brave enough to truly feel what your team feels. Remember: Good managers get tasks done. Great managers get people. Empathy isn't a nice-to-have. It's your leadership superpower. - - - - - ♻️Share and repost if this resonated And follow me, Jonny Tooze, for more insights on authentic leadership.

The Three-Headed Monster: In business partnerships, finding the right partners is everything. 🏆 Alex likes to call us the "three-headed monster"—three distinct minds, working in sync, each focused on our areas of expertise: ⚡ Barry Hartman, CEO – Setting the vision, driving expansion, strategic planning, and supporting our leadership team. We’re scaling 505-Junk and Bolt Accelerator into new markets, growing our impact, and building something bigger than ourselves. ⚡ Scott Foran, President – Overseeing finance, human resources, and business development—keeping our foundation strong and making sure we’re positioned for long-term success. ⚡ Alex Elsey, Vice President, Sales and Operations – Leading inbound sales, account management, quality control, and production—ensuring our service is top-notch while optimizing operations at scale. But what truly makes this partnership work isn’t just our complementary skills—it’s trust at the deepest level. Not just trust that we’ll do the right thing, but trust that we’ll get the job done. There’s no micromanaging. No second-guessing. Just confidence that we each own our lane and are committed to pushing this company forward. That kind of trust is the foundation of everything we’ve built. I couldn’t ask for better business partners—or better friends. And to our incredible team—none of this happens without you. We’re just getting started. 🚀 Who’s been a game-changing business partner in your journey? Tag them in the comments and give them the recognition they deserve! 👇 #505Junk #Leadership #BusinessPartners #Entrepreneurship #Expansion
