LOL, I assume the title is irony, or perhaps a riff on sassy (a word derived from sarcastic), because the author correctly says "Good managers write well" throughout the rest of the text.
Yup I think the author was taking a little poetic license there. I thought he made some good points but I don't think it's universal. Sometimes good managers are good because they have empathy, good temperament, care about the team, and work hard to enable his/her employees.
There are benefits to being able to write well and it helps with certain aspects of management, however there are a wide range of elements that makes someone an exceptional people leader.
It would be a contradiction for managers to have high empathy but to be unable to write well because the ability to write well is a necessary consequence of having high empathy, i.e. a sensitivity to how others’ comprehension might (or might not) work.
Non Native speaker here: Has there been a recent change regarding good/well? e.g. in youtube videos about construction I hear it all the time: "works good", "runs good". Is it cool now to make this mistake?
It may be related to a contrast between American English an British English. American English speakers will often use adjectives in place of adverbs when speaking colloquially, e.g. "That tastes real nice" instead of "That tastes really nice". The same is the case with "good" and "well". This does not usually happen in British English, other than by modern American cultural influence.
I don't know if it's cool or not, but it is ungrammatical (LOL); 'good' is an adjective, 'well' is the adverb.
And also a state of health.
I'm always tempted, when someone answers my "How are you?" with "I'm good", to ask what it is they're good at, or if it's because they go to church every day, help old ladies across the road, etc.
