When I think back to my better bosses they had the following characteristics:
- Understood what I brought to the group
- Assigned me tasks that were interesting
- Assigned me tasks that were challenging
- Gave me opportunities to grow
- Promoted my achievements up
- Let me know what I needed to do for advancement
- When tasks were achieved fought for my promotion
I wish that group still existed, it was the best, and I see pieces of what we built all over the company.

I would be delighted beyond all measures if, instead of a blog about complaining about all the everyday crap people go through, there was a blog bragging about the great managers and the great groups we have. Eh, make it internal if you want. Sure, people will complain about sycophants and all that. I trust you to be bright enough to see through that. Cut out the bad by supporting - and putting a spotlight on - the good.
Well said, both should be discussed so that the good will get better and the bad will be influenced to leave. The current problem is that finding a group with a good reputation is easy, but past group performance may not be an indicator of future success. Management changes all the time, so it is important to know names of good managers you will directly work for or all bets are off.

I share some of the same desires for those qualifications.
And in addition to telling you what you needed to do to get a promotion...actually giving you one when you do it. You also forgot a boss that allows you to realize your potential, and lets you work on things that play to your strengths.

Well, this gets to another important qualification for a boss - being politically savvy. Truth is, your boss doesn't give you the promotion, he (or she) just nominates you for it. Your boss' peers will also be nominating their folks. Since there is a limited promotion budget in the group, and probably not enough to go around, they will get in a room with their boss (your skip-level) and haggle. If your boss isn't good at this, your chances for promotion go down.
Unfortunately, the odds of a boss who fits all the other criteria and is politically savvy, is kind of small.
If you have a boss like that, do everything you can to help him (or her) out. You want that person to be successful too, so you can stick with them, because you will have a hard time finding someone else as good.
This is great info to know.
