What type of manager brings out the best in you?

"The best manager I ever had really embodied the servant leadership paradigm. She made it common practice to have one-on-one meetings with each of her team-members every month or so to talk about our engagement in the work as well as what she could be doing better to bring out our best. The fact that she asked what -she- could do better instead of assuming her employees were the only ones with room for improvement spoke volumes to me. She's a leader I really admire."
