STATISTICSResearch Topic: ‘Whats your ideal manager?’
A survey was conducted using Survey Monkey to find out the factors that depict the

collected data on the age of the participants, gender profile, their employment status and whether
they have been ever employed as a manager. Rest 5 questions were subject specific. Question

communication skills, decisiveness, leadership, responsibility, technical expertise and non-micro
manager. The association between the gender variable and the attributes or characteristics that
make up a good manager is analyzed below.
