What type of manager brings out the best in you?

"When I first started out in retail, I didn't expect to make it a career -- it was just a summer job in between college semesters. But my manager at that first job was so engaging, so excited about the work that I really started to fall in love with it, too. She inspired a shared vision for our team, had an open-door policy for ideas as well as complaints, and asked for our feedback on her work as a manager just as often as she gave us feedback on our work. That first experience helped cement retail as my chosen career path, and I haven't looked back since."
