As a manager I expect people to know what they're doing as such I rarely focus on the details and give people a lot of freedom to find their own way to the achieve that goal. On the flipside that's that kind of mindset I expect from managers which a lot of times is difficult for managers due to me being quite young, I don't need people second guessing my actions. Leave the kid gloves at home! Hey, I’m 24 I manage some projects as freelancer in addition to being an employee full-time.

I love a boss who will step back and examine processes to see if they are truly value-added and worth the task-time of their team. I also like a boss who is willing to be on the recieving end of the same type of conversation. I totally agree with Maureen.
