Advantages: Motivated staff

Disadvantages: None if good

I guess I can only really write this from the prospective of an employee and what I look for in an effective manager.

The first thing I want is a manager who is consistent in the way that they treat all staff, this means no favourites and the same policies being applied to all staff, with this comes the need to be fair and to treat everyone the same, so when deciding on who gets what holiday time or how people are dealt with if they are late or off sick and while personal circumstances should be taken into consideration certainly in my office those working mothers with kids at school seem to get an easier deal when it comes to time off or changing their hours.

I also want a manager who is inspirational and able to make decisions rather than one who always passes decisons on to others.

Finally I want a manager who will provide support to their staff, giving them training and also development opportunities so that they can progress in their careers and get better at their job.
