In the business world, honesty is critically important. When hiring a manager, look for candidates who understand the importance of openness and transparency. Leading by example, honest managers inspire the rest of their teams to be similarly truthful.

Great managers have excellent communication skills. They are able to get their team on the same page so that everyone works toward the same objective — not seven different interpretations of that objective. Managers need to be able to communicate verbally, but the best ones are also able to communicate via the written word just as effectively.

The average person makes as many as 35,000 different decisions each day; managers probably make at least a few more. Select an indecisive manager, and your company moves more slowly — it’s that simple

From time to time, all businesses suffer setbacks. A court might rule against you. A new competitor might enter the market and gain traction. A new product release might not be well-received by your customers. In any such situation, managers need to remain confident so they can lead their teams forward.

According to our 2019 Employee Engagement Report, more than half of the employees said their promotion and career path were not clear to them. That figure leaves a lot to be desired because many workers place a high value on professional development.
Managers who are invested in their employees and committed to helping them grow professionally will almost assuredly keep their staffs engaged.

Look for managerial candidates who understand the importance of empathy. When managers don’t listen to their employees and understand where they are coming from, bad things can happen.
7. Focus
Any given company has an enormous amount of competing priorities.

Any given company has an enormous amount of competing priorities.
It goes without saying managers need to be aware of the big picture. But they also need to have a laser-like focus on the smaller things, too. Look for candidates who’ve demonstrated they’re able to wear many hats at once. Great managers have a track record of successfully seeing multiple projects through from conception to completion.

Decisions aren’t always so black and white. Sometimes, creative solutions are required to solve problems.
As you search for managerial candidates, look for applicants who have demonstrated their ability to solve complex problems creatively. Great managers tend to be creative people. They are known for thinking about new ways to improve operations and serve customers better while also making their employees happier.
If you consider candidates who have spearheaded projects, helped conceive new products or services, and figured out ways to improve productivity, you’re likely to wind up with a great manager.

It’s easy to get frustrated at work. When managers openly express their disgust about something when everyone else is struggling, it can bring the team down even more. Great managers understand this, which is why they try their best to remain optimistic and positive at all times.

Great leaders tend to stick around — they’re in it for the long haul. Maybe they have their sights set on climbing the ladder. But they’re not looking to land the next job they can find. They’re committed to the cause and are looking to get promoted and move up the ranks.
