The given bar chart presents the perspectives of business people in the years 2010, 2015, and 2020 regarding the importance of various attributes in making a good manager. The factors assessed were responsibility, good communication, transparency, empathy, and vision, with respondents rating each on a scale from 1 to 5.
Generally, responsibility and effective communication consistently remained highly regarded aspects in defining a good manager across all three years. Meanwhile, other elements, such as empathy and vision, experienced a notable rise in perceived importance. However, transparency maintained a stable level of significance throughout.
As previously mentioned, responsibility and good communication are key variables in the perception of what constitutes a good manager among interviewees. Each factor started with a high rating, 5 for responsibility and 4 for good communication, and ended with a perfect score of 5 for both. Notably, responsibility and transparency exhibit a resemblance in consistency pattern with unaltered scores after 3 years, with the sole exception being that in 2015, responsibility decreased to 4 while transparency rose to 4 as well.
Finally, good communication, empathy, and vision exhibit a collective upward trend; however, empathy and vision experienced significant growth, while good communication remained barely changed. The most notable change is attributed to empathy, which rose fourfold from its initial score of 1, in contrast to vision, which increased twofold from 2 to 4 over the three-year period.
