What qualities do you see consistently in managers?

I've realized from posting here that many of us hit the same roadblocks with management. Many of them seem to be bad in the same way.

The behavior I've seen most evident after having worked at multiple jobs, is that hospitality managers are good at listening, but bad at taking action. I've found when you try to address real problems, you can have a long talk with a manager and come away thinking it was a productive time. Then nothing changes.

If I had the proverbial nickel for every time I heard the following, I'd be driving my choice of Lamborghini.

"We're aware of it "

"Don't think we don't see it."

"We're going to address it."

"We are going to have a staff meeting to address everyone's concerns."

Nothing ever changes.
