Step 3. Identify one manager in your organization (you may choose not to name this person, but what is the relationship to you?) who fits very well into the organization's ideal manager's role. What does this manager do that creates a good person-role fit? ( just so you know I worked at my school as helper for computers).
Step 4. Identify one manager in your organization (you may choose not to name this person, but what is the relationship to you?) who does not fit very well into the organization's ideal manager's role. What does this manager do that creates a poor person-role fit?
