Top 5 Characteristics of a Good Manager, (2011)

Posted in: L.E.A.D. Survey Top 5s

Reflecting the results from non-managerial employees reported in late 2010, new findings from the L.E.A.D. Survey show that managers themselves hold a similar view of what makes a good manager – placing ‘is trustworthy and open in approach” equal top of the rankings with “gives me space to do my work but supports me”.

Leaders, however have an inverted view of the Top 5 placing “gives me regular honest feedback on how I’m going” ahead of all other characteristics.

Encouragingly though, employees, manager and leaders all share a common  understanding of the five most important characteristics of a good manager (even though they may rank them in a different order) – a clear sign that they are on the same page
when it comes to recognising quality in management ranks.
