Last week, I tweeted to ask people who their best manager was and why. I've summarised the words used in all of the replies:
Kind
Played to strengths
Thoughtful
Freedom
Allowed to grow
Trust
Autonomy
Support
Motivation
Understanding
Knowledgable
Had my back
Appreciated
Valued
Fun
Encouragement
Wellbeing
Coaching
Fair
Tough love
Focus
Respect
Flexible
Empathetic
Managers: pick three that you know come naturally to you as a person and ask yourself how you can use them to develop your team.

Then pick three that you want to get better at and find one way you can do that for each one.
Team members: don't be afraid to tell your manager how they can get the best out of you and use clear descriptors (and examples) like the ones above.
