Below are 10 of the most sought after qualities that make up a great management person. Taking each one at face value, they are very reasonable to attain. What is interesting is the fact that good managers are almost as hard to find as good employees these days.
These qualities are not ranked in any certain order:

2. They are always looking for those they can train up to become their successor when they leave.
3. They possess great decision-making skills. They think things through and search for the best direction, keeping all persons in mind.
4. They have a passion for creating a positive work environment for the team as a whole.
5. They realize that they are as human as their teammates and therefore have weaknesses and faults.
6. They have a vision of what their team is able to accomplish, and seek to complete it.
7. They are the gate-keeper and protector of their team.
8. They are flexible. They realize that sometimes plan 2 or 3 may need to become plan 1. S**T happens and they immediately move their team through it instead of wading in it.
