I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but look up Project Oxygen from Google. They did this huge study on what makes a good manager and it is in my opinion very insightful. There is a Harvard business Review article on it that is really good and I'm sure there are some free alternative resources on it as well. Here are the 8 behaviors of a good manager according to the study:
Be a good coach
Empower your team and don’t micromanage
Express interest in team members’ success and personal well-being
Be productive and results-oriented
Be a good communicator and listen to your team
Help your employees with career development
Have a clear vision and strategy for the team
Have key technical skills so you can help advise the team
