What can an employee expect of a good manager?

And what does an employee NOT have the right to expect?

Answers:
To treat him as human.
Respect
An employee should expect someone who is reliable, friendly, they should make you feel as though you are a vital part to the working of the office.
You cant really expect them to be nice to you all the time I guess as they have alot of pressure on them from their bosses,. Construative critiscism is welcome, but constant criticising is not so good.
Someone who isn't bossy, rude and unkind. They should be fair and willing to understand the needs of their staff.

I once had a boss who I was trying to talk a problem over with and after I finished explaining the issue, she said to me "ooh, I like your shoes". Somehow I don't think she was really listening.
A good manager will set realistic goals and targets and will support staff to achieve them. A good manager should never ask their staff to do anything they are not prepared to do themselves, and should be seem to pitch in when the need arises.
The rights enjoyed by an employee is the rights he reads on his contract. so basically you have none except those that the law provides.

frankly, its really different in the "real" world especially when you have to work at the buttom of the command chain.

BUt you have the free will and choice to expect such . like say a good manager if the company youre applying to has a good track record on its corporate governance.

if you are really interested to know what to expect then research the company thoroughly so you have an IDEA what to expect.
Fairness and decency
I'd expect boss man to respect him-her-self and not wrestle with his-her consciouss. Secondly, i'd expect him-her to be driven and people minded, and get the most from his-her worker(s) - compassionate bosse's make happy robots.
That they provide the tools, training and clear goals and objectives. They should not have to deal with your external personal issues (i.e. relationship problems, etc), they hire someone with certain skills and expect your to produce while you are at work.
Fairness,respect and that is it.
if hes a good manager he'll know what its like to be just an employee.and dont expect too many pats on the back or pay rises as unfortunatly it doesnt work this way.
Well what would YOU expect in a good manager!
Some of these questions are so easily answered by putting yourself in the other persons place hun!
A good manager is fair and understanding, but with a gentle firmness.
You should treat employees with the respect they deserve also - dont repremand them in front of others - bring them to your office.
Praise them when they do something good.
speak to them as people - not as lesser earning staff that are merely "under" you.
They DO NOT have the right to:
Lie to you or belittle you.
Not pull their weight in the office
