Management is a relationship.  As with any relationship, both parties must play their part to make it work well.  When either the manager or the staff member does not uphold their end of the relationship, it causes problems for the other.  If both parties know what should be happening, however, each can act as if the other were doing their part, and this can make the rela­tionship work more smoothly, even when one party is not behaving “properly”.
