Quick answer
Manager effectiveness shows in the team: retention, engagement, delivery reliability, feedback quality — measured in the team’s outcomes, not the manager’s calendar.
Team outcomes
Retention (regretted attrition), engagement (eNPS/pulse), delivery (commitments kept) — the manager’s score is the team’s.

~70% of engagement variance is the manager — measuring managers measures the system.
The trap
Measuring managers by activity (meetings held) not outcomes (team health) — the wrong metrics reward the wrong work.
Bottom line
Manager effectiveness shows in the team: retention, engagement, delivery reliability, feedback quality — measured in the team’s outcomes, not the manager’s calendar.
