Field Update across standard and custom object

I need to update a custom field on a custom object whenever the same custom field on a standard object is updated.

Example:

Account Object- Custom Field(Manager)

Custom Object-Custom Field(Manager)

 

What would be the best way to have the Custom Field(Manager) updated with the same value as the Account Object- Custom Field(Manager)
