Step 1
The first line in being a good leader as a manager is to be a great observer. If you have worked with the people you are managing then you will already know their personalities. If not, then get to know everyone's personality. This will take time. Research your environment. Know how it works. Have a friendly but quiet personality. A good leader is always learning, thinking and relaxed.

Step 2
A leader in a manager is someone with an opinion but knows what not to say and how to act at work. Remember than you are at work and work comes first. Your work environment should be welcoming but professional. A good leader listens to the employees on ways to make the workplace better. A leader also respects oneself and all employees.

Step 3
A good leader is approachable but does not build favored relationships with employees. Remember that you want to run a great team and work environment. You do not want an employee with a rude or unbearable personality. Favoritism can cause you your position, a huge turn over rate and this subject matter as gossip.

Step 4
Every manager has a manager. The saying is true that someone is always watching you. If you have ever been introduce to some that said that they have heard of you or has seen you around, then this is why we are all seen even when it is unknown to us. Your true character will always show. Being a good leader is being passionate about your work and the way you interact with people. A friendly and welcoming work environment that recognizes and rewards employees is a more successful company. Your workplace will be a place that your workers will want to be. You will see less sick days, stress, satisfied employees and customers.
