My favorite managers are the ones that made me better at what I do. The ones that I was able to learn incredible amounts from. I joined the company to learn from them, I delivered on what I promised (solving the problem their hired me to solve / filling their need), and they delivered on helping me build my skill set and career. That's the most important thing for me personally. If they can also be friendly and we have a friendly working relationship (can joke around and grab a beer once in a while) that is also great. However that's absolutely secondary to the first point. In theory I'd be fine with having a boss who I don't really click with personally at all but am still able to learn from.
