I am sure you have had so many answers listed here which i am completely agreeing with, but in my point of view a manager should:

- Have the ability to be tolerant

- Should not loose his patience and start pressuring his subordinates

- Should have qualities of a team leader rather than just acting like a manager

- Should support his subordinates and should help them to improve and groom them enough that tomorrow they can be good managers too.
