What is the most important trait in a manager? In my opinion, it is someone that provides transparency, removes barriers, and gives opportunity to develop.

All very important things! I would add being confident, not just in their decisions, but others as well. If they need to help fix or guide, that is great but also when somebody is capable of doing something, let them go do it. I feel like micromanaging is a huge sign of not being confident.

I think the most important trait in a manager is honesty. If someone is honest and behaves ethically, a lot of other things just naturally flow from that. It's also important to have practical experience at doing the work, and not just be schooled in management technique. Someone with technical experience will understand what's being asked of people, and will likely get better results in the end.

I think clear communication and expressing expectations very clearly and upfront. I definitely have room to grow in this area but I make it a priority to communicate as well as I can with my team. I've had too many managers who are horrible communicators

Service mindedness. I'm fully willing to let you take half my ideas as your own if you're willing to properly back projects by going to bat for funding, timelines, and stand behind proper development processes so everyone is on board with the project until it's finished "the right way".
