Ability to make subordinates enthusiastic about a common vision
Without vision and the ability to convey this vision to others, a manager will never be capable of motivating and inspiring their team. This is why a good manager must be able to make their team enthusiastic about a specific, realistic and achievable idea.
Effective management of your own time capacities and those of your subordinates
As McKinsey & Company states, a good leader must also be able to handle their time really well. Someone who is poor at their own time management can hardly plan the work of other people.
Openness and honesty
A good leader must be transparent with their subordinates, they must be honest and they must not lie or overembellish things. Nor should they try to fool or exploit their team, as employees are very sensitive to such behaviour on the part of their superiors.
Clear moral codex and hierarchy of priorities
A good manager must adhere to certain principles. They must follow a certain moral codex and in this sense be predictable.
Ability to empathise with others
Empathy is a cornerstone of communication skills. This is why without empathy and emotional intelligence a good manager cannot exist.
Fair attitude towards team members
Regular employees are extremely sensitive to any signs of injustice or favouritism shown by their superior. A good manager cannot just fake impartiality: they must genuinely follow it in their everyday interaction with their team.
