Qualities of a Good Manager

qualities of a good manager

As a business owner, it is nearly impossible to handle all aspects of your business solo. You need someone to be your right hand, someone who will take the pressure off you while adding value to your business. You need a manager, but not just any manager. Today, we are sharing with you the qualities of a good manager to help you make the right choice for your business.

The Qualities of a Good Manager

1. Honesty

One of the essential qualities of a good manager is honesty. They should be 100% trustworthy. If they are not, it can be detrimental to your business, reduce confidence from employees, and lead you to be wary of someone you should trust explicitly. 

2. Communication

Communication skills are vital in the business world. Your manager should be able to communicate with clients and employees clearly. Additionally, they must listen; communication is a two-way street, not just the manager talking. 

3. Confidence

If a manager does not exhibit confidence in what they do or say, it reflects poorly on the business and may lower the morale of your employees. Your manager should be confident, decisive, and optimistic in the actions they perform.

4. Responsibility

Another one of the key qualities of a good manager is responsibility. You need them to be reliable, consistent, committed, and focused on the tasks they need to perform. Additionally, you want your employees to count on and trust your manager to support them in whatever they need.

5. Empathy

A good manager must be able to step into the shoes of an employee or client. They need to be able to empathize with someone else’s position. That understanding is worth its weight in gold. Additionally, managers who encourage staff and demonstrate appreciation for their hard work will significantly increase employee satisfaction.

6. Ingenuity

Another of the qualities of a good manager that can sometimes be hard to find is ingenuity. Managers should not just plug and chug along; they should be able to innovate and improve your business.

7. Leadership

Lastly, a good manager is a leader. They will inspire employees to work harder and more efficiently through kindness, constructive feedback, coaching, and by being a source of information and resources.
