Signs of a good manager / leadership?

As I read few posts about leadership styles, rants about pathetic managers. Since this platform has a combination of managers & freshers/reportees. Just thought to know what defines a good manager. Also would like to know from people who are in the leadership role - What makes you think you are a good manager & what is that one thing u want to do to make others life better at office.

It's been almost two years since I have been working for a startup and I report to a founder. The work has been quite remote and the teams collaborate remotely. How often should I have one to one sessions with my manager? The last time we had a one to one was during my appraisal which happened a year ago post which we never met 1:1. However, we meet once a week on a group staff meetings which is driven on a specific business agenda? Is this something healthy?

So I’ve been with my firm for almost 8 years now and honestly it’s become more of a second home for me. I honestly want more exposure and experience different office culture but it’s difficult to leave a job that I got through when I was in college. Am I the only one feeling this way? Any suggestions/recommendations appreciated!

What is the one best skill you would like to have in your manager?

Hey guys, i am going to be a manager for the first time in a company that i have been working at for 3 years and I have people joining me from monday.. any tips for being a good manager?

Some managers have better reach in the company and this let's their team be at the top of everything. I have seen people get promoted and praised just because of their managers reach to upper management and rest are left for scrambles many a time not because they don't work hard enough but because their manager doesn't cares about their job that much or maybe doesn't has that level of reach in the company These well fit in managers tend to benefit their entire team with more opportunities, better salary packages and benefits than rest. Is this trend everywhere ?
