I remember a manager who always kept a distance from all of the people he met in the company. He used to say that his was the ideal attitude of a manager.
One day I met him in a bar. He was alone.
We greeted each other and he nodded for me to come sit at his table. I hadn’t even sat down before he started to vent his pain, his anguish.
He was depressed.
He was surprised when I told him that I had known this for a long time.
From his behavior at work.
When a person keeps a distance, he does it to hide something.
