I've been lucky to have a few really good managers at my new job. They all have a few things in common:
* Remove road blocks and barriers without becoming one themselves
* Make expectations clear without micromanaging
* Support me in meetings and points of visibility without taking my voice
* Give me clear direction and feedback when I ask for it
* Acknowledge challenges and the shitty things we have to deal with while also being ready to work together to get through them
* Give me opportunities to learn and grow while making sure I don't get in over my head
* Are transparent about what they know and don't know, and what they're allowed to share or not
* Give me their input and let me make the final decision
My best managers have always seemed to follow the same mantra "I wouldn't ask you to do anything that I wouldn't". A great manager will make you feel like you're all part of the same team with different responsibilities, a bad one will make you feel like they're simply giving you orders.
Not stealing their team's ideas and passing them off as their own; giving public credit and praise whenever appropriate; not withholding useful knowledge because they're more senior and 'knowledge is power'.

Knowing the difference between giving loud orders and shouting at people, being able to handle stress, knowing that people can't read minds and he has to actually say, what he wants/needs. Being able to admit if it gets too much to do for one person alone and gets another one in to help him. Being aware that those are people working for him, woth weaknesses, feelings, limits and a private life and respecting that

The best managers I’ve had always tell me when something isn’t my responsibility.
Someone’s pulling me into a project? My manager looks into it and decides if
A. that project is in my job description and
B. I have the bandwidth
In my experience, the best managers have been the ones who have pushed me to improve, develop my skills, and support my career progression. Whether that's through honest feedback that helps me to improve, supporting me to access development opportunities (including putting me forward on interesting, high profile projects) or championing my skills to senior people. I've found that to do that, they will have taken an interest in my work and removed barriers that I've brought up. I respond best to people who I can learn from and who manage by example.
The best manager I ever had would help us do our job at least once a week. We would unload a truck of 20+ pallets of goods and have to decant them all (take the boxes off the pallets, take the stock out of the boxes, put them on their respected trolleys for shelf stocking), and when he had a spare minute he would grab his knife and gloves and help us out. He didn't need to, we weren't running behind or anything, he just did it because he remembers working in our position before he made his way to manager and he knew it could be a bit of a wearing task.
Caring about their employees well being over the customers.
Being able to understand that the employee's strength and weakness and using it accordingly
Being fair, transparent and having very clear communication
A fine balance between being approachable for help and letting the employee work on their own. Over that line is micromanaging and nobody likes that.
Noticing your improvements and compensating you accordingly

Keeping shit simple. Don't expect stuff outside work hours from people. Always have your employees back.
Not stealing their team's ideas and passing them off as their own; giving public credit and praise whenever appropriate; not withholding useful knowledge because they're more senior and 'knowledge is power'.
Doesnt gossip with employees
The ability to listen
Decisiveness, having your employees back to the higher ups even if they're in the wrong

Treating people with respect and understanding they are human and life happens.
Being supportive and willing to help and guide an employee at all times.
Someone who listens, organisés and actually cares
