Google has just concluded its mammoth ten-year project titled Project Oxygen. This was designed to understand the qualities that make up the best managers or team leaders at Google or even elsewhere. Post this study, ten major types of such managers have been identified who are most impactful. The first type are the good coaches, who excel at management training. The second type does not engage in micro-management, but instead empowers the team. The third builds an inclusive team, being concerned for the well-being and success of the team. The next one is focused on results and productivity. The next two categories focus on excellent communication and career development. The seventh kind excels at developing an excellent corporate strategy and team vision. Technical skills are the main forte of the eighth type while the ninth is ideal for cross-functional collaboration. The last type is great at making strong decisions. The mentees need to respond depending on how their superiors function.
