You are trying to adapt to a toxic environment set by the manager. How long do you think you can sustain?

A leader must lead, but if he is not capable of noticing his flaws then he is a failure.

He focuses the employee on best practice approaches to meet the needs of the branch staff. This is the sort of wise counsel that helps less experienced staff mature professionally at an accelerated pace.
