IMPORTANT: everyone at The Otaku Box is a Manager of (at least) One!

So, what’s a manager of one?

A manager of one is someone who ideates and/or identifies new work, implements that work, measures that work, reports on that work, then optimizes that work - without being told, and without excuse

Note that ‘work’ can be a specific task, or it can be a system, process, collaboration, idea, project, and more!

Managers of one do not think or say things like:

“No one told me to do that”
“I wasn’t tasked with that”
“That’s not my job”
“Someone else was supposed to do that”
“Someone else didn’t do something so I couldn’t do this”

Managers of one do not do things like:

Allow tasks to run overdue
Fail to respond to comments, updates, and similar
Fail at any of 5 key precepts of being a Manager of One
Make excuses of any kind, ever

Managers of one do things like:

- Task themselves with work, both identified and ideated
- Optimize their workflow and processes
- Identify and then solve their own bottlenecks and those of the larger team
- Implement new workflow and processes that not only assist their work, but the work of the entire team
- Take responsibility for the growth, improvement, and/or forward direction of work, processes, and ultimately the foundation
- Have incredible attention to detail
- Own their work, responsibility, and role
- Continually learn new skills, software, systems, and thought processes

When managers of one have a question, they:

- Exhaustively research the problem, learning from a variety of resources, including everyone/anyone involved
- Attempt to solve the problem themselves
- Failing that, they propose two or more potential solutions for consideration when presenting the problem

Why we hire managers of one

We live in a ‘gig’ economy that pushes wages as low as the lowest person on the planet is willing to accept for a given gig. Uber, Fiverr, etc are all full of people looking to do told what to do and complete specific jobs for a very low rate. If you’re the kind of person that needs to have work dictated to them, you’re competing against many millions of others in the global gig economy, and that’s not what we’re looking for, which is why this position pays better than ‘gig’ work.
So, you will need to be a manager of one and ideate and/or identify work, implement that work, measure that work, report that work, and optimize that work!
