The bar chart illustrates the results of a survey among business people comparing qualities that define a good manager during the period from 2010 to 2020 at five-year intervals.
Overall, by the end of the period, good communication, empathy, and vision experienced increases. Whereas, responsibility and transparency ended up with the same level as the initial figures. It is also clear that responsibility and good communication were the most considerable aspects during all years, with empathy conversely having the lowest amount in the beginning, and representing the most notable changes throughout the years.
Turning to the leaders first, responsibility and good communication had 5 and 4 in 2010, respectively. While the first one returned to 5 in 2020, after a drop to 4 in 2015, the latter remained at 4 in both 2010 and 2015. However, after five years, it climbed, making up the highest rate at 5.
According to the less significant factors, in 2010, transparency and vision followed with 3 and 2, respectively. Although there was a slight upward trend for the former one to 4, in 2020 it returned to its initial figures. In contrast, vision represented a minor increase during the entire period, accounting for 4 in the end. The lowest position was held by empathy in 2010, with only 1.
