The site Ask A Manager is a great, interactive resource for credible and thoughtful employment guidance. In addition to authoring the site since 2007, Alison Green has written and co-authored books and articles dispensing management and work advice. An attribute of Ms. Green’s publications is that they aim to construct a collaborative and mutually rewarding relationship between managers and direct reports, which a preponderance of studies have shown create the most productive work environment. Paradoxically, other publications within this genre appear designed to efficiently develop stronger managers and more obedient subordinates.
