Best Practices for Winning the Worst Leader Award
We see so much written on how to be a good leader. Let’s look at the flip side of the equation and see what qualities make the top of the lists for winning the Worst Leader Award.
Top of the lists:
- Untrustworthy
- Failing credibility
- Doesn’t really like people
- Financial focus only
- Bully mentality
- Naysayer to new ideas
- Know-it-all personality
- Self-focused
- Theory X management style
Middle of the lists:
- Not an effective teacher
- Has stopped learning
- Does not keep up with changing trends
- Poor communication skills
- Silo management style
- Low on empathy scale
- Has stopped growing and learning
Do any of the above traits sound familiar? Do you recognize yourself in some? Do you recognize your manager in some?
