A good manager is the one who can manage his organisation successfully and profitably.
The characteristics of a best manager is he should be able to understand every team member's strengths and weaknesses and utilise every members abilities at his/her best in the interest of the organisation and motivate the staff, understand and acknowledge every staff member's efficiency and reward them accordingly.
A good manager is like the good leader who doesn't say "do it " but says "lets do it".

Main qualities of a manager :-)
He does not listen.
He is insensitive.
He is abrasive.
People are afraid of him, ie. intimidated by him.
No one likes him, other than himself.
He thinks too highly of himself, and talks down to others.
He enjoys public flogging and degrading people in public.
He is very demanding and impossible to reason with.
He is technically inept.
His interpersonal skills leave a lot to be desired.
He doesn't contribute but steals the credit from others.
He talks a lot but never walks the talk.
He always finds fault and flaws with others, but does not see the problems he creates.
He is always critical of others, but does not see his own incompetence; eg. spelling mistakes, typos, ad nauseum.
He should get his phone and headset fixed so he can hear what others are saying.
He repeats himself a lot.

a good manager IMHO is focused on the results, knows what it takes to achieve them and can communicate that clearly to the team.

A good manager doesn't have to know all the ins and outs of each task that contributes to the results, that's what the professionals on the team are for. But guiding, coaching and keeping everyone focused on those results are key attributes required of a good manager.

Team spirit comes out of a shared commitment to the team's goal - a good manager knows how to communicate customer requirements, has everybody participate in the setting of goals, and makes everyone accountable for her/his individual contribution. A good manager owns up to her/his faults, doesn't take credit for someone else's success and contribution, and sets clear deadlines.

A good manager has a good sense of humor, better yet, a great sense of humor! Now, as far as strategies for leading a company, that's a completely different story...
