1. Credited me publicly for good work
2. Their default was to back me/question others first
3. Did not sugar coat the situation, especially if I had to do clean up
4. Did as much as possible to shield me from BS, but also apprise me of the situation.

Upfront about their intentions to put me in positions to grow/excel & proved it with their actions. Proactively asks for feedback on their management style and asked about my preferred learning style. Very rare to find a manager like this.

I really strive to be this type of manager! I appreciate your add-in here

One who checks in and makes sure you meet for 1:1s (makes time), provides new / growth opportunities, enables diverse opportunities across the work you do, shares feedback good or bad in the moment, knows work is not your life even if it is theirs.

Trust in their creatives to find their own voice while adhering to Brand standards/client needs. Knowing when to offer guidance and advice without micromanaging.
