I’m gonna say something pedantic and perhaps obvious.
You don’t manage people. If you do, you’re a bad manager. You manage problems and projects and enable people to do their jobs well. You facilitate conversations and make sure they have what info and tools they need.
People are not robots you control. You are not better than them. You aren’t above them. In fact you’re usually far easier to replace than them.
Maybe I have a chip on my shoulder but this is core to bad managers: they think their reports are their subjects to lord over.
