Management 101- Is Your Manager, Well...A Good Manager?
By Scott Passeser
Executive Alliance Commack, New York 11725 scott@execsallied.com Office: 631 635 1206
To put it succinctly, with very few exceptions, we all report to somebody. From an entry level employee to the highestlevel CEO, we all are accountable to a manager, a board of directors, or even shareholders. So, the question is, are you satisfied with your manager? Do you feel valued, supported, and challenged in your role? Is your manager helping you grow or blaming you, even when it’s not your fault? Do you often find yourself frustrated, disengaged, or even resentful?
A good manager can significantly impact your job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being. A bad one can make you miserable and have an adverse effect on your career. Below are the qualities of good and bad managers. Which one do you have?
What Makes a Good Manager?
A good manager typically possesses the following qualities:
• Effective Communication: They clearly communicate expectations, provide feedback, and listen actively to their team members.
• Strong Leadership: They inspire and motivate their team, setting a positive example and fostering a collaborative
work environment.
• Empathy: They understand and respond to the needs and concerns of their team members, showing genuine care and support.
• Fairness: They treat all team members equitably, providing opportunities for growth and development.
• Problem-Solving Skills: They can identify and resolve issues effectively, taking a proactive approach to challenges.
Signs of a Bad Manager
If you’re experiencing any of the following, your manager may not be providing the leadership you deserve:
• Poor Communication: They are unclear, inconsistent, or unresponsive.
• Micromanagement: They excessively monitor and control your work, stifling creativity and autonomy.
• Lack of Support: They are unavailable or unwilling to help when you need it.
• Unfair Treatment: They show favoritism or discrimination.
• Negative Attitude: They are constantly critical or pessimistic.
• Taking Undeserved Credit: When managers elevate themselves by stealing your ideas or taking credit for your work, you are in a no-win situation.
What to Do If You Have a Bad Manager
If your manager is making life difficult or preventing you from enjoying the day to day of your job, or, even worse, getting in the way of your success, here are some steps you can take:
1. Document Incidents: Keep a record of specific instances of poor behavior or unfair treatment. At some point you may consider going to HR or to another manager, however, such a move would be pointless without specific documentation. Without documentation, you enter into a his/her word against mine scenario, which will only make things worse.
2. Communicate Directly: Have an open and honest conversation with your manager about your concerns. It’s important to always remain calm and unemotional. State your case intelligently and logically, and with the facts to back it up.
3. Seek Advice: Talk to a trusted colleague or senior staff member to get input and ideas on how to proceed.
4. Consider Transferring Teams: If possible, explore opportunities to transfer to a different team or department. Such a move solves your problem and sends a strong message to the bad manager.
5. Look for a New Job: If the situation is untenable, start searching for a new position. Do not let the months turn into years, thinking to yourself, this is just the way things are. We all deserve a manager who supports our growth, values our contributions, and creates a positive work environment. If your current manager isn’t meeting these standards, don’t be afraid to act.
LETTER FROM THE HIA-LI PRESIDENT & CEO
Dear Valued Business Leader,
As 2024 comes to a close, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our members for contributing to an exceptional year for HIA-LI.

9 Healthy Tips to Reduce Sugar Intake & Why it Matters
By Lisa Zimmerman Lifsetyle Link LI
an estimated 17 teaspoons of added sugar per day. That’s 3x more than the daily recommendation. Yikes.
We’ve had a long, storied, controversial (and let’s face it, bloody) history with sugar in this country. Unfortunately, added sugar is built into the US food system. Our food is highly processed and often travels long distances before it ever gets to your home. Sugar is added to decrease the costs of production and movement. Plus, when food tastes good and excites our palate, it makes us more likely to buy it again. Even foods that we don’t think of as having sugar, like canned vegetables, crackers, and condiments, are often packed with it.
This can make the idea of “breaking up with sugar” (or heck, even reducing it!) feel incredibly daunting. So, what do we do?
Like anything else, reducing sugar intake is possible by practicing mindful eating and incremental lifestyle changes.
Remember, sugar isn’t The Enemy, and all foods are fine in moderation. With that said, reducing sugar intake can have fantastic short and long-term health benefits. It’s worth building a “sugar reduction plan” into your lifestyle to get those benefits
keepingcurrent
and still enjoy sweet treats without calorie-counting or guilt. Even as I’m writing about sugar reduction, I’m imagining my favorite chocolate cake recipe. And guess what? That’s totally fine with me.
What Sugar Does to Your Body
First of all, let’s get rid of some of the fear around sugar. It’s not a bad word we have to whisper into our nutrition logs.
Sugar is a naturally occurring substance. Table sugar is called sucrose, but it’s not the only kind of sugar out there – lactose is the sugar found in dairy. Fructose is found in most fruits and some vegetables. Grains, dairy, fruits, and veggies all contain sugar. Sugars have the same or similar chemical compound and provide energy to our cells to keep going through the food we eat.
Eating sugar through fruits, veggies, and complex carbohydrates benefits our bodies. You heard it here – I didn’t just say sugar was acceptable. I said it’s beneficial. And we must retool how we think about sugar in our eating habits if we’re going to get those benefits.
Sugar is also not addictive. This increasingly popular theory may be born from our need for convenience. We love sugar! We’re programmed to love sweet things because sweet things already exist in our food. By treating sugary food as a deprivation or a reward, we train ourselves into unhelpful sugar habits that can be hard to break.
The big caveat: Added sugars in our food can be harmful. The sugar levels in our bodies are carefully controlled by the pancreas. If we consistently have more sugar in our blood than our bodies can tolerate, it can cause harm to nearly all of our organs and lead to heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, and more.
Too much sugar often doesn’t feel good in the short term, either. Ever found yourself lying on the couch after a party, clutching your stomach, and complaining about your “sugar coma?”
Yeah. Not fun.
Okay, so – if sugar has the potential to hurt us, why do we keep eating it?
Why Do We Eat So Much Sugar?
So, when I mentioned we had a long relationship with sugar, I meant long. And definitely ongoing.
Sugar, as in table sugar, comes from a plant called sugarcane. Sugarcane originated in India, spread through Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Africa, and was eventually brought to the West Indies by the British. Sugar’s ties to colonization and the world economy make it an especially challenging food to reduce intake, even in our modern times. Sugar is deeply ingrained in who we are and how we eat.
Sugar as we know it – those powdery white crystals in the cute jar on your counter or in your pantry – is made through a refining process. Before this process, sugar wasn’t widely consumed. Our ancestors had to rely on fruit and sometimes honey to satisfy their cravings.
By the early 1900s, the US had made moves to create its own sweetener with help from the agricultural industry. High-fructose corn syrup is found in many of our foods today and has been the leading added sweetener for many years.
Now, to be clear: there’s not much health difference between high-fructose corn syrup and cane sugar (HFCS contains more fructose at 55% vs 42%. The research just isn’t conclusive on whether or not it’s worse for you). Take note that you’ll more likely find high-fructose corn syrup in your food as an added sugar, instead of table sugar.
As you make moves to reduce sugar intake, make sure you’re also looking for high-fructose corn syrup or other sweeteners in the ingredients. Much of our food contains high-fructose corn syrup rather than sugar, but they have the same effect. It’s important to make sure you stay under 10% daily intake of any added sweetener. The easiest way to do this is to check the label for “added sugars.” (more on that below).
Reduce Your Sugar Intake
Okay, so we know that sugar isn’t the Big Bad Villain AND it’s not addictive. We know that we consume too much sugar, with the main culprits being processed foods and sweetened drinks.
Let’s talk about how we can reduce (not cut out!) sugar to help our bodies feel and operate at their best.
My tips focus on mindful eating and lifestyle changes. Find what works for you and enjoy it.
1. Drink More Water: Drink a large glass of room temperature water right when you get up in the morning, even before your coffee or tea.
2. Get More Sleep, Rest, and Relaxation: When you’re tired or stressed, your body will crave energy in the form of sugar. These cravings are often the result of being sleep-deprived, going to bed late (I see this one A LOT with clients), and waking up early, sometimes for months and years on end.
3. Eat Breakfast: Yeah, yeah, you’re probably sick of hearing “it’s the most important meal of the day.” But skipping it or eating sugary foods or refined carbs (think bagel, fat-free yogurt, granola bar, instant oatmeal) causes blood sugar levels to drop to extreme lows by mid-morning. Breakfasts that include protein, healthy fats, and whole grains will naturally reduce sugar cravings throughout the day.
4. Avoid Really Salty Food: Salt stokes your palate for sweet dessert.
5. Cut Back on Caffeine: Hear me out! Caffeine causes dehydration and blood sugar swings. Avoid sodas and energy drinks in general. Try switching out your afternoon coffee for tea, or a half-caf in the morning.
6. Have Emergency Food on Hand: Often, between work and family and all of our commitments, we’re running on empty. If you’re busy and get hungry, chances are you’ll grab an ever-soconvenient sugary snack at the next store. Keeping a healthy snack that’s high in protein and healthy fats with you at all times will help carry you over to your next meal without spiking your blood sugar.
7. Avoid Fat-free Foods: When fat is removed from foods, it’s usually replaced with sugar to make it taste good. Foods that are altered in this way contribute to sugar cravings. They cause people to eat more and feel less satisfied.

Blogging is Relevant—and Even More Powerful—in 2025
By Eliud Custodio
turnonestudio.com
As we step into 2025, the digital marketing landscape continues to evolve, yet one strategy remains as relevant and powerful as ever: blogging. For business-to-business (B2B) companies, a robust blog content marketing strategy is not just a trend but a necessity. It offers unparalleled opportunities to enhance brand visibility, build trust, and establish authority in your industry. Let’s delve into why blogging is an indispensable tool for your success in 2025.
Establishing Authority and Building Trust
In an era where information is abundant, B2B companies must differentiate themselves by offering valuable insights and expertise. A well-crafted blog serves as a platform to share knowledge and establish your business as a thought leader. According to HubSpot’s 2024 Report1, companies with blogs produce an average of 67% more leads per month than companies that don’t have active blogs, demonstrating the enduring value of authoritative content in shaping purchasing decisions. By consistently publishing insightful articles, businesses can build a reputation for reliability and expertise, which is crucial in an age where trust is a key differentiator.
Enhancing SEO and Driving Traffic
Search engine optimization (SEO) remains a cornerstone of digital marketing strategies, and blogs are a powerful tool to enhance SEO efforts. By addressing industry-specific queries and incorporating relevant keywords, your blog can significantly improve your website’s search engine ranking. According to Demand Metric2, blogs are responsible for 434% more indexed pages and 97% more indexed links within search engines, highlighting the continued importance of blogging in driving
organic traffic. Furthermore, blogs provide fresh content that search engines love, which helps maintain your site’s relevance and visibility over time. The strategic use of long-tail keywords and internal linking within blog posts can further bolster your SEO strategy, drawing in qualified leads who are actively seeking solutions.
Generating Leads and Nurturing Relationships
For 2025, generating quality leads will be more crucial than ever for B2B companies. A strategic blog content plan can effectively address the needs and pain points of your target audience, positioning your business as a trusted solution provider. Blogs allow companies to engage with their audience on a deeper level, offering insights and solutions that resonate with potential clients. By providing value through educational content, businesses can foster a sense of community and loyalty among their readers, ultimately converting them into long-term clients.
Supporting the Buyer’s Journey
Blogs remain a vital tool in supporting the buyer’s journey by offering content tailored to each stage of the decision-making process. From awareness to consideration and decision, welltimed blog posts can guide prospects seamlessly through the funnel. Demand Metric’s recent findings3 show that 80% of people appreciate learning about a company through custom content. This makes blogging an attractive option for B2B companies looking to optimize their marketing impact. By mapping out content that aligns with each stage of the buyer’s journey, businesses can ensure that they are meeting their audience’s needs at every touchpoint. This approach not only aids in lead conversion but also enhances the overall customer experience.
Fostering Engagement and Community
Beyond lead generation and SEO benefits, blogging serves as a powerful platform for fostering engagement and building a community around your brand. Interactive elements such
as comment sections and social media integration encourage dialogue and feedback from your audience. This interaction not only boosts engagement metrics but also provides valuable insights into customer preferences and pain points. By actively engaging with readers, businesses can create a loyal community of advocates who are more likely to share content and recommend services to others.
Adapting to Emerging Trends
The digital landscape is ever-changing, and blogs offer the flexibility to adapt to emerging trends and technologies. In 2025, incorporating multimedia elements such as videos, infographics, and podcasts into blog content can enhance the user experience and cater to diverse audience preferences. Additionally, leveraging data analytics to track performance and understand audience behavior allows businesses to refine their content strategy and stay ahead of the competition. By staying attuned to industry trends and continuously innovating your blog content, your business can maintain its relevance and authority in the market.
Partnering for Success
As blogging continues to prove its relevance and power in 2025, developing and executing an effective strategy can be daunting. Turn One Studio is here to help.

• Best Home Page, Silver 2024
• Best Visual AppealAesthetic, Gold 2024
“We’re beyond appreciative of the Davey Awards’ recognition of our work with ATI,” said SMM Managing Director Judy DeBiase. “This large, complex project was a welcome challenge for the agency, and the fact that it has become not only a source of substantial lead generation for ATI, but also an award winner, is very gratifying.”
The website, designed and developed by SMM’s web development team, includes custom and CMS programming, in addition to dynamic product pages. Its launch last year has resulted in better positioning in searches, more userfriendly content, a better experience for ATI’s customer base, and – most
importantly – an increase in leads.
