I've held many management positions. Most of the companies I've worked for have closed their doors due to poor upper management. I have always been engaging with my coworkers. I never felt that I was above anyone, even though I held a title. I've always jumped in and helped out my coworkers in their daily work when I had the time to do so. I always got my work done and engaged with my coworkers to make the work flow go smoother.
