What Makes A Good Manger?


Towards the end of 2012, "Calcalist" published a rating of Israel's 50 finest managers.
The managers were chosen according to the following parameters:
·         Performance
·         Credibility
·         Transparency
·         Consideration of small share owners. 

Number 1 On the list is Natan Hetz, CEO & owner of "Alonei Hetz", a real-estate company.
From the article, It seems that the latter, puts great value in keeping it transparent and communicating with its investors and employees. He also emphasizes the importance patience and persistence when patiently avoiding "trendy" investments and high risk – high revenue deals.  

Other principles that stood out among the chosen managers is choosing professionals, strong and opinionative employees who will not become "yes-men" as well as communicating with them constantly.
They emphasize the importance of developing employee skills and knowledge, assimilating a long term view and binding the employees to the company's strategy.

I invite you to read further of the managers of 2012 according to calcalist. What do you think is important to a good manager? Is a manager born or built?

  1. Hi Yael,

    This is a very interesting and challenging question.

    I believe that a good manager is one that grows from the bottom and knows the employee's needs as well, because he was there.

    When I searched for more information I found out that the combination of what I wrote and innate person character leads for a good manager.
