“When people were asked to chronicle their worst boss, they either cited lack of character or competency,” said Longenecker. “When we teach leadership, we now focus on character and competency. The list of bad traits leans very heavily towards character issues.”
Via AlGonzalezinfo, David Hain
from the article:
Here are Longenecker’s 12 characteristics of really bad bosses:
~Are arrogant, prideful, inflexible, and always right.
~Are unprincipled, untrustworthy, misrepresent the truth, and lie.
~Fail to create clear direction and clarify performance expectations.
~Are ineffective at providing effective performance feedback and recognition.
~Are really bad communicators.
~Are erratic and have unpredictable behavior and moods.
~Take credit and avoid blame.
~Do not plan effectively and are crisis driven.
~Do not develop their people or help them get ahead.
