A great manager needs to have certain qualities like a good leader and a follower at the same time. If he or she possesses these qualities, he or she will an effective manager in the eyes of his or her subordinates.

The best manager I had was one who encouraged me and didn't make me feel as if I was a weak link on the team. She had faith that I could accomplish what I said I'd do, and more. She allowed me leeway since I was honest and didn't take advantage of the company, so that when I went in early commuting with my husband, and stayed until my release time, it meant I worked more than the agreed upon time. So she told me I could take a longer lunch if I wanted to and on some days I got to go home early without complaint.

A good manager should be a team leader. Have the ability to delegate work to staff working under him/her, and motivate them to get the job done. S(he) should also be a good listener.

They need to understand the problems faced by the employees and should get these solved as soon as they can

I think a great manager wears many hats and balances them with grace. They’re not just a leader but also a team player, always ready to listen and support their team. The ability to delegate effectively, communicate clearly, and solve problems with a positive attitude are all hallmarks of a fantastic manager.

But beyond skills and qualities, I think what truly makes a manager great is their ability to inspire trust and confidence in their team. When a manager believes in their team, it empowers each member to perform at their best, knowing they have the support and guidance they need to succeed.
