I think that the best worlds manager is alex ferguson the manchester team manager.I think he is the greatest for many reasons.1st he have been in his place for over 14 years till now as I know,& this is a sign of sucesses.2nd he have made a lot of a great players like Bekham,keane,butt & neville's too.3rd he got too many titles at all fields.In addition to his great readin' for the field,till now I remmember his great coachin' to Mans againest Bayern in Uefa champions final when they where losin' by two goals,this as I think was in 1998.\nAlso there are so great managers right now like Jose Morinho-Blues-,gerard Oli'e-liverbool-,Frank rikard-barca-.\nBut also I think Feguson is the greatest for his great experience.\nI hope I'm right:)

Well i don't know you, but when asked what do I see in my future, I'd say "your Job" to whoever was asking.\nAsk your friends these very questions, like ask her/him "what do you think makes me a good manager?" They can come up with the best answer for you.

Yeah I think Eric Cantona or Mark Hughes would be great managers for Man U. However, I think Carlos Queiroz is the best choice cos after all, he's been doing a great job with Fergie. Or maybe Martin O'Neill...or even Roy Keane? Who knows.\n\nAnd I'd be glad if noone here mention Jose Mourinho to replace our great Ferguson. He's no match for him.

Most HR managers haven't a clue what would make a good employee.  I would expect they view as essential qualities they are lacking in themselves - good customer focus, efficiency and a genuine desire to help people.

If they are good managers they don't. If they are successful, competetant and confident they know they are only as good as their employees. That's why good managers realize they actually work for you _ to be a point of escalation, to help resolve a problem, to get you on a good career path.  Lousy Managers, are threatened by good employees and that's where you get that disconnect. They want an escalation to make you look bad, or take over a problem because youcouldn't handle it.

Integrity is the main one. Basically your word in private and your actions in private should be no different than in public. \n\n1. Empathy - My best executive Director was such a geat boss because when I messed up and misshandled a situation, ( I had to supervise women and children in a shelter and rules were always being broken etc.) she always showed me what it is in me that is lacking and how I might fix that, instead of just firing me or disciplining me. She handled everything in a friendly manner with such great communication. I grew so much under her supervision. \n\n2. See The Grey -  I used to see right or wrong, black or white. It was clearly one of the other. She taught me to see the grey. Every rule or situation has a grey area. \n\n3. Understanding - Everyone comes form a different place and brings different thought to the table. Don't expect people to act like or react like you would, and don't feel dissapointed if they don't measure up. Just lead and guide.\n\n4. Lead by example. - No one should have to do anything you wouldn't do, and you shouldn't be doing anything that reflects badly in front of them.

Before you get too tied up in the pure academics of management keep in mid that the best manager are leaders.  They inspire loyalty, motivate people and provide rewards out side of money.\n\nMy only reference is managing/leading people for 25 years while also having  BS, MA and MBA degrees.\n\nYou might think about interviewing or just talking to people you feel are leaders in your school, work, community, etc.

A manager does the right thing. A good leader does things right. \n\nThe most important personal qualities of a leader is wisdom. Always able to apply the best possible solutions to resolve problems or maximize efficiency  (and this doesn't means always do things by the book but at the same time, he/she must able to do this appropriately)\n\nWith wisdom, a leader will be able to think wisely and bring the best out of everyone including themselves and create a close bond and enhance the morale for their team.\n\nTo be a good leader doesn't always need to be a expert in the feild of their work in fact some of the top leaders in history wasn't a expert in any field apart from leadership. They were very capable in dealing with human relation that they can hire expert in many field to specialize the field of work. \n\nOf course, being a knowledgeable leader is not a bad thing too but being a true leader is far more important.

Delegating tasks to individuals that can complete the tasks is the most important part.\n\nI have seen managers give projects to the wrong staff member, because they were more well liked...and the project failed.\n\nKnow your staff and what they are capable of.  Challenge them, but be there to catch the ball if they drop it.  Also, be the first in to work, and the last to leave, as frequently as possible, so you are viewed as a manager that pulls their weight.
