This is different for everyone. It depends on your own personality, work style and what motivates you. For me, I like a boss who sets the direction, provides me with the tools and resources to perform the work and then steps out of the way and gives me freedom and flexibility (and trust) to accomplish the job. For others, they may need a more "hands on" manager who will constantly pat them on the back every day and tell them they are doing a good job.
Overall, here are some signs of a good supervisor/manager:
1.) Understands how to motivate each of his/her people.
2.) Celebrates when the team and individuals perform and steps in to take immediate corrective actions and needed when performance is not being met
3.) Praises in public.....criticizes in private.
4.) "Walks the talk"...Does what he/she says and expects from the team. Sets the proper examples.
5.) Is ethical and honest. Does not compromise him/herself or anyone under them.
6.) Maintains a good work/life balance and promotes this within their team.
I could go on and on but just some of the main things that come to mind. There is no such thing as the "perfect" boss so in every situation you can learn from both from a good and boss boss/supervisor.

Kindness, intregrity, honesty, fairness. Pretty much the same thing they'd look for in an employee.
