What do you like in a manager?

I'm glad you asked this question! In my personal experience, I enjoy working with a manager that doesn't necessarily put themselves above the other workers, but works with them in a friendly manner to achieve their goal. If the goal isn't achieved, use constructive criticism and tell them everything they did right and praise them for it, tell them the things they did wrong without hurting their feelings but say that the mistake is "no biggie, just make sure its better next time" followed by a smile. A manager should be someone that the employees feel comfortable around, not necessarily hindered by. I'm sure you'll make a great manager since you've already gone out of your way to find out the best way to be one :)

Someone who knows what to do in every situation at work, good quality service and no BS
