Q.1 List and explain the traits of a professional manager.

Desire to manage:The successful manager has a strong desire to manage, to influence other,and to get results through the team efforts of subordinates. To be sure, many people want the

privileges that come with managerial position, which include highstatusand salary, but they

lack the basic motivation to achieveresults by creating an environment in which people are able

to work together toward common aims. The desire to manage requires effort, time, energy, and

usually, long hours of work. Communication skills and empathy:Another important

characteristic of managers is the ability to communication through written repots, letters,speeches, and discussions. Communication demands clarity, but even more, it

demandsempathy. Integrity and honesty:Managers must morally sound and worthy of

trust.Integrityin managers includes honesty in moneymatters and in dealing with others,

effort to keep superiors informed, adherence to the full truth,strength of character, and behavior

in accordance with ethical standards. The other characteristic we find in a great manager is they

live what they teach and they commandrespect by their example. You cant be one thing and

say another because youll lose respect. Its no that important that your salespeople just like and

admire you. It is important that they respect you first the other things will follow.
