Personally I have always taken a stance that performance in a managerial role is of utmost importance. Performance in this context means how effective a manager is in meeting the needs of the organization by discharging his responsibilities. These responsibilities must be aligned to organizational objectives. 

It is therefore most important that the manager understands clearly his role and responsibility, but fundamentally, the manager must understand that he is now part of management, and their role is to ensure the success of the company.

Certainly, and importantly too, is the fact that the manager must create and maintain long term relationships with all, but high performance is what builds the organization's confidence in you, the manager, which leads to trust.

Performance=Confidence=Trust=Speed=Value added=Sustainability.

Certainly the manager has to be competent and capable, but this has to be addressed by HR.

 

To be a successful manager be honest to yourself and be honest to the colleagues with whom you are working towards a common goal of Organisation. I feel in simple words it can be only achieved by putting your best effort and expertise to bring success to each team member of your team.This requires lots of sacrifice , lots of devotion and lots of hand holding. This is one way of earning trust of your team and the team that believes in you will deliver it's best. After this the skill lies in maximizing the resource available to bring the best out of your team. All this with your honest effort will give you the earned designation of Successful Manager.
