Bangalore: What is the key to being a great boss? Every person in the corporate world must have met one special manager in their career who epitomizes the norm, who commanded our respect, and treat us like a friend, even in the toughest of business or personal crises. What are the traits of a good manager that makes him stand apart from the rest?

Leadership: It is one’s ability to get the others to willingly follow an order to achieve the organization’s goals. Action is the mark of a leader. It shows the ability to make the right decision at the right time.

Effective Delegation: Delegation is one of the most important functions of management. It helps save time; it develops people and motivates them. The delegation of right tasks to the right people results in meeting deadlines easily and effectively.

Set Clear Expectations:  It basically means to set deliverable set of goals for employees and to ensure it is made clear as to what is expected of them.

Honest: It is extremely important that managers “walk what they talk”. A good manager is also open to accepting his mistakes and is honest in his ways. It gives him an edge over the rest as he practices what he preaches.
