THE TRAITS OF
A GOOD MANAGER

Being a manager is a demanding role and the priorities may
vary from company to company. However, no matter what
the strategic objectives of the company are, there are certain
key traits that all good managers share.
It is vital that employees can trust their managers if they are to feel happy and
comfortable in the workplace. Open and honest communication and the kee-
ping of promises are key traits of a good manager.
A good manager takes responsibility for their own actions just as surely as they
hold their team accountable for theirs.

THE TRAITS OF A GOOD MANAGER
The best managers are able to motivate their teams to achieve more, inspiring
individuals while encouraging cohesive teamwork.

Making strategic changes within
an organisation is often the
responsibility of the manager.
Employees need to feel that they can
talk to their manager if they have any
issues, concerns or work queries, so
managers need to be approachable.
Managers are often required to make
tough decisions, so an ability to weigh
all sorts of information, be decisive
and act on decisions made is essential.
