Management that acts like owner Operators. If they are heavily vested in the company shares, they are more incentivised to deliver shareholder value.

Assess them if they are promotional in their share price or Mission oriented.

Track back on what they used to say and whether they execute accordingly.

Honesty in their words and integrity in their actions. I won't want management to beat around the bush. They need to know when they are accountable for what has happened (good or bad), and when they need to lay out the facts bare for shareholders to see. They need to ensure that they communicate clearly about plans and not just with a vague message of 'don't worry things will be ok'. They need to prove that they are as vested in the growth of the company as anyone else.

Ability to execute and track record.

Giving you example, **Bob Iger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Walt Disney Company).

Look at when he starts his role and compare it with the share prices (the reflection of the business in the long term).
You can also look at how he implements his strategies and acquisitions (Buying Marvel, Fox, Pixar) & the next implementation of Disney Plus.
I think with this kind of management - I'll be able to sleep very well at night!
