Pretty spot on Asher except for that review crap. They're ego driven, so just telling them they're great and giving them a decent raise covers that aspect with a lot less work. (hint, it's really all about the money, not the grade, but when money is tight, praise is cheaper)

Respect is the biggest thing. Leadership is second since most techs make awful bosses. In most companies any tech that can communicate instantly is on the management path. That doesn't necessarily make them a good boss. Your definition was better and since my staffs over the years usually had some of the highest retention rates in the company, I'd like to think that my mistakes have been limited.
