Google’s Rules to Being a Good Manager
What make’s a good boss? Google recently completed an internal study, as only Google can do, to answer this question. They came up with a simple list of “Eight Good Behaviors” of a good manager, and Three Pitfalls to avoid. The surprise outcome after all of the research? Even at tech-geek heavy Google, good management comes down to simple people skills.
Check out the thorough NY Times article - its obviously better than anything I could write on the subject!

On this same topic, I really loved the book “Good to Great” by Jim Collins. It goes into the subject of great management and great CEOs. And for those in our profession who are big on evidence-based decisions/practices, the book is based on a 5-year study that started with an analysis of over 1,000 companies. Thanks for sharing this study, Adam.
Personally, I feel that having a clear vision and communication are the two most important aspects of being a good team leader, not just a business manager. Having a clear vision for all of your staff makes it easier to create leadership and create a shared ownership of all goals and accomplishments within the business. I always felt that if you make your employees feel as if they are a key to the success of a business, they will perform their work with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
