I've helped develop 20+ first time managers, and coached/mentored many more...

"Great Managers" signal in a few simple ways....

1. Develop Rapport - they put in the effort, over multiple discussions, to build trust 2. Prioritize People - they put their people's desire to grow, ahead of other priorities 3. Establish a Process - they define (and practice) a clear protocol for communication, development, and growth 4. Stretch and Coach - they design growth opportunities and provide coaching 5. Deliver Results - they make an impact, hit goals, and produce value
