How much weight do you actually give to management quality when picking a stock, and how do you even evaluate it?

Every serious investor I follow on socials say management quality is one of the most important factors, and Warren Buffett talks about it constantly. Though when I sit down to actually assess a management team, I have almost no idea what I am looking for. I read the CEO letters, I listen to earnings calls, but I do not have a framework for distinguishing a genuinely great operator from someone who just sounds impressive on a call. What signals do you actually use or look for? Capital allocation history? Insider ownership? How they handled a down cycle? Whether they have been honest about mistakes? I feel like this is one of those things experienced investors just know but nobody actually writes down in a usable way.
