My newest hire told me that I am a really good trainer, the best she's had. That made me feel pretty good.
I like to think that I am a good manager, but I also know that I don't delegate as much as I should.

I'm actually scared to manage people. I don't think I'd be very good at it. I tend to be a really fast learner and I'm super efficient. And I get VERY easily frustrated if people can't keep up with me and I tend to write them off. I'm good at explaining things and training people, but if they don't pick it up quickly, or I have to repeat myself, I run out of patience quickly. Bad qualities, I know, but I recognize them in myself and should I ever be in a position where I manage someone more advanced than my interns hopefully I can improve??

No. I'm too shy and hate confrontation.

I was slowly getting better at it when I was working.... but now I'm a SAHM so the only one I get to boss around is DH

I am.. though sometimes I feel like a kindergarden teacher. I might micro-manage a bit, but I'm really flexible with things, too. My theory as a manager is that if my department is organized and we're getting everything done, I could care less about coffee breaks, dress code, etc. - within reason, of course.
Also, everyone that I've hired has been with the company now for 5+ years, so that makes feel confident as a manager.

I'm a super hands-off manager. Some people like it, some don't. I don't think I'm the best manager in the world, but I'm working on it. I don't do well with small talk, so that hurts me, I think. Plus, I have absolutely nothing in common with the guys I manage. Blah.
