What it takes to become a good manager

Ok ! So when we say manager what exactly comes to your mind?? The one who can help you with any problem that comes your way. You are a support system for your team. You know in and out of your role. But apparently this doesn’t happen at start ups. The person who can just boast about the work and show off things in front of management and manipulate things without doing any work? So what exactly we need to do ?? And how to learn the art of manipulation if you want to survive???

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.

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?

All the People Managers here, comment below, What do you really want out of your team and for yourself at work? Do you really enjoy micromanaging people and showing off your authority by hyper monitoring them and messing up their work life balance? Do you want to be respected and loved by your team or you just want to be feared by them to feel better about yourself? Using fear as a motivator does not really increase your team’s productivity you know? Please enlighten me 🙏

Basically the title. What according to you is essential for a good manager? For me, if my manager can foster strong and sustained relationship with me / the team, the team is more likely to work more diligently. Curious to know what are the signs others look out for?
