Some of my favorite qualities in various managers:

  - Deep technical knowledge. Someone you can respect as a fellow engineer.
  - Really loud and forceful in meetings. Someone who can represent your work well to a team of other managers
  - A good friend
  - Super honest and transparent
  - Combination of deep technical knowledge and passion/involvement in the team's mission. This was my favorite because I felt the manager could truly appreciate the work I did.
