What Glitters in a Manager?

Today I was meeting with a new colleague about my role, and he was sharing his understanding of the current landscape at Company Z as a fairly new employee, himself.

One comment he made was that our boss was a creative, not necessarily a nuts and bolts guy. As he was saying this, I had to smile.

There is a lot about our new boss that glitters for me. I don’t think anyone can say anything that would change my mind (during my honeymoon period!)

So, here’s my glitter list for a manager:

1. Compassionate.

2. Considerate.

3. Intelligent

4. Experienced manager (having worked for other companies and managed teams).

5. Fun

6. Fair

Do you have a manager-glitter list? How would yours differ?
