I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but look up Project Oxygen from Google. They did this huge study on what makes a good manager and it is in my opinion very insightful. There is a Harvard business Review article on it that is really good and I'm sure there are some free alternative resources on it as well. Here are the 8 behaviors of a good manager according to the study:

  1. Be a good coach
  2. Empower your team and don’t micromanage
  3. Express interest in team members’ success and personal well-being
  4. Be productive and results-oriented
  5. Be a good communicator and listen to your team
  6. Help your employees with career development
  7. Have a clear vision and strategy for the team
  8. Have key technical skills so you can help advise the team
