A great manager creates a team and office environment that makes it easy for smart people to do good things.

 Succession mentality

A successful manager eventually realizes their own leadership will end one day, but if they teach and instill the right things into people who work for them, that philosophy can live on for a long time, long after the manager is gone.

Three main types of learning styles: analyzers, doers and watchers Great managers identify an individuals learning style/styles adequately in order to help them learn effectively and further improve their strengths.

Want to correct mistakes inflicted on them

Great managers are look to undo the evil managers they had.

 Self aware, including weaknesses

Great either work on their weaknesses or hire people they know make up for their own weaknesses, and empower them to do so.

Sets tone of healthy debate and criticism

Only a boss who sees their own behavior as a model the rest of the organization will tend to follow can ever become a truly great manager. Without this, they will always wonder why the team behaves in certain unproductive ways that are strangely familiar.

Willing to fight, but picks their battles

A manager that never fights can never be great they will never have enough skin in the game to earn the deepest level of respect of the people that work for them. But a manager that always fights is much worse. They continually put their own ego ahead of what their team is capable of.

Instinctively corrects bad behavior within their team

Micromanaging is never good, but correcting destructive behavior, is always appropriate even if you have to jump levels to do it.

Conclusion
Assess each individuals talents and skills. Then provide training, coaching and development opportunities that will help the person increase these skills. Compensate for or

manage around weaknesses.
