How do we rate a manager as good or bad?

Manager is a critical link between the top management and lower management people.
  A good manager should clearly describe the top management agenda to the his team members, should protect the team to grow and perform, should give due credit to team member, help the team member to enhance their skills, should ensure that the best performer is promoted timely etc etc.
  However the bad manager is always pointing the fingures to the team members and complaining about his team to top management.

Yes, I understand the pulse of many people who has answered this question..
For me, it's like a good manager will always help his team perform well, help team members grow in terms of technical skills and as a person.
A Good manager always stand for the team and will gain respect..
where as a Bad manager will always point fingers at his team members on crisis situations...
