These are essential qualities of a good manager of people. In fact, they are the universally applicable qualities of the following good individuals: 1. Good politician 2. Good leader 3. Good minister 4. Good administrator 5. Good boss 6. Good captain 7. Good foreman 8. Good father/mother 9. Good husband/wife 10. Good older brother/sister As for the rest of the material in the post appended below, the impatient knee jerk reaction because of a series of self-inflicted painful experiences on Goanet, and unfamiliarity with the topic of discussion, namely university-based research and teaching, is understandable.
