Answer 1

Answer .
The most important things that good managers do is to ensure that all the activities of the departments are carried down in a smooth way. Company's expect their managers to interview,hire and train new employees. Manager's are also responsible for setting up long term and short term goals in order to improve proper functioning of the organization.
The characteristics which I think are important to be good manager role are as follows -
1. Communication skills.
2. Reasoning skills
3. Emotional intelligence
4. Social genius
5. Time management skills
These characteristics matter for effective leaders because depending upon these skills the manager can execute his roles and responsibilities in the organization. Without having a lack of communication skill a manager will not be able to communicate to his subordinates. Similarly the lack of reasoning skills will make the manager not able to take right decisions. Emotional intelligence helps the manager in dealing with people and motivating them emotionally. Social genius is concerned with making the right talent work towards the organization goals. Time management skills helps the manager in effectively handling different task in the organization.
