However, I always got high marks for "playing well with others" in Corporate so I can be a team player. I was a hands on when needed manager, opting not to micro manage but coach and guide. Excellent points and definitely something to ponder this week. Independence is good but you want to balance that with being able to work with others and ask for help.

I feel the same way, although if I'm in a learning mode, I sure don't mind being managed closely. Karen, I think you and Jeanne are revealing the blogger mentality.

Priceless! Personally, I prefer a hands-off manager--within reason. I believe in employee empowerment, and since I'm fairly responsible, I tend to prefer greater autonomy. There are cases, however, where a manager's input and guidance are needed. After all, there's a reason they're called "managers." Take care! Jeanne Love it, Brad! Priceless!
