At big clubs, the ability to handle huge fan pressure and the media spotlight. At small clubs, the ability to maximise limited resources.

found this which pretty much covers it
Personal Attributes of Leaders
Skilled Communicator. Able to clearly explain tasks and inspire others with varying backgrounds and perspectives.
Confidence. Poise, clear thinking under pressure, conviction in the course being set, and decisiveness are characteristics that earn the respect and loyalty of others.
Fairness. Treats people fairly, makes decisions consistent with clearly expressed standards of right and wrong. When handling disputes, the leader’s resolution engenders a feeling of justice, equal treatment and evenhandedness.
Generosity. A ‘giver’ rather than ‘taker’; a giver of time, knowledge and caring.
Honesty. Truthful and openly self-critical with regard to acknowledging own errors.
Humility. Modest about his or her abilities and always respectful of others.
Mastery. Makes decisions and demonstrates a high personal commitment to acquisition of knowledge, skill mastery and thoughtful action.
Passion. Performs work and play and approaches every task with passion and enthusiasm.
Optimism. Believes that everyone has something important to contribute to the success of the organization; creates an environment that is positive, hopeful and buoyant – a place of working, playing and human interaction that employees and student-athletes enjoy and value.
Selflessness. Puts the needs, interests and wishes of others before his or her own self interest. When the leader asks someone to do something, that person knows that what is being asked is for the larger good or good of another.
Trustworthy. Builds trust and confidence by acting in team member's best interest and not revealing confidential information.

I don't really have any. Football management just seems so random, chaotic.
A manager with a spotless record can go to a bigger club with better resources and fall flat on his arse. A manager who has been sacked from his last two jobs can find success the third time around.
It's all about looking at the effort and tactics for me, with results secondary. Better that than to be taken in by cute soundbites, past success, local links etc.

Clarrie...
No one on here acts like the 'grammar' police unless you make errors on the same line as calling someone else illiterate. Practice what you preach, a little consistency and balance leads to a healthier discussion. I do not consider myself 'pro-Thorn', only 'pro-Coventry', but am not as relentlessly anti-Thorn as you, Grendel, sickboy, lordsummerisle, etc. If I can speak for myself and say where I have been as regards this thread / this forum... growing immensely bored of the circular and cyclical debates where nothing is resolved. You can take this for a 'victory' if you so wish.
As regards the constituent parts of a good manager... it is fairly obvious and most have been listed. In no particular order; luck, judgement, knowledge, flexibility, support, trust, respect, confidence, etc.

ok my turn to be pedantic...... i do not believe respect is a quality at all ..........it is the earned result of the qualities the manager is in possession of.
he can show respect but again is this a quality or the result of anothers actions/abilities etc ?
ok pedantic button is on off now

Some posters appears to have read the thread title as 'imagine the qualities you perceive Thorn as lacking, and list them as managerial prerequisites to highlight his inadequacies'

hope that doesnt refer to me MMM ........... because it would be wholly inaccurate

I can assure you that is not the case from my perspective.

No, respect is certainly earned through actions. So, I would say that - in a list of what makes a good manager - having respect from your playing staff is part of the process and would indicate that there is something about the manager, after all. I may have put the chicken before the egg. Or the egg before the chicken.

Never OSB58. I consider your opinions to be considered and educated within the arena of finance; objective and pragmatic outside
