Traits Of The Best Line Managers

  • They don’t feel the need to control. They trust others because, if mistakes happen, the leader has big enough shoulders to share responsibility.
  • They demonstrate that they care – both about the team goals, but also about each of the team members as individuals. They make time for human interaction.
  • Instead of trying to manage the team, they support team members in managing themselves.
  • These leaders encourage the team to decide what they need to inform the leader about and what to take responsibility for communicating themselves.
