To be a good manager, you have to like people and be good at communicating.This is hard to fake . If you don’t enjoy interacting with people, it will hard to manage them well. You must have a wide range of personal contacts within your organization. You need relationships – not necessarily personal friendships- with a fair number of people, including your own employees. You must encourage these people to tell you what’s going on and give you feedback about what people are talking about the company and your role in it.
My experience at my work last summer is not a pretty one. My boss was running the company in a boy’s club atmosphere where his favorites were given the green light to act as they pleased. They did whatever they wanted to do, they would yell, scream, curse in a bunch of meetings. They would chastise people. My boss was hurling books during meetings, yelling at people and indirectly keeping people on their toes as if they are expendable and keeping the morale low. We employees started saying to ourselves, “Are we supposed to be making this person happy or the other people happy? They seem to have other priorities”.

well it is a really hard to work in the atmosphere like that
I really do feel bad for you that you worked there. I certantly wouldn't work in the company like that ..i just wouldn't have desire to go to work everyday. Well, if i didn't have any choice then i would just say something to someone who is in higher command , that it is a hard work in the atmosphere like that.
