Twice.

Both were really amazing for my career, and shared some common attributes.

- They shared project goals and documents with me from day 1, so all of us knew what the deliverables were

- Cared about my development, and were willing to make changes to deliverables to align well with my own future goals

- Never managed a large team, always mentioned that big team sizes are unwieldy and ineffective

- Praised my work in public and to other people. They would go to a meeting, where I am not present - and praise my contributions. I had people come up to me months later, because they had heard so many positive things about me from my manager
