Name one best competency of a Manager

Empathy for his team Have worked with 3 managers, and have realised this is the most critical competency that I care about. If your manager is not invested in your growth, what brings value to you and find ways you can add value to the team, other things don’t matter

My current manager is kashmiri "cool dude", he's blessing in disguise, he's debugged code with me at 11pm when crucially needed, and also allows me to skip daily standup calls when I don't have any point to talk.

Empathy first. Influence second.
