HATE their BOSSES!!!

18 LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS that make you a BAD BOSS

🧡 πŸ‘‡
1/ Tunnel Vision

Hesitating to explore alternatives.

When you focus on one objective and filter all information, facts, and data through that prism,

then you are waiting for failure to happen.

2/ Absenteeism

Leaders can easily get caught up in their own responsibilities and not be available to their team.

As a leader or manager, your team comes first.

Prevent this by scheduling time for your team and mastering active listening skills.

3/ Feedback Hoarding

According to a Ken Blanchard Companies survey of 1,400 executives, hoarding feedback is the most common leadership error.

Without timely feedback, you're denying your team members an opportunity to learn and grow.

4/ Managing conflict ineffectively

Unresolved disputes inhibit cooperation.

Disputes become "fish under the table"

You must "clean" these fish by addressing the underlying conflict.

Your reward: a fantastic fish dinner at night.

5/ Misreading Motivation

Many leaders assume their team just works for money.

Fact:

Flexible working inspires those seeking a better work/life balance.

Others are driven by success, more responsibility, praise, or a sense of community.

6/ NO Boundaries

People are complicated, emotional, and unpredictable.

It is vital to set clear boundaries between work and relationships, regardless of who reports to you.

7/ Shying in Public

You and your team's efforts will be unnoticed until you make large companywide presentations or speak out in critical meetings.

Learn the skill of public speaking.

8/ Role Guessing

When you become a leader, your responsibilities change dramatically.

It's easy to forget that your position has evolved and you need new skills to succeed.

This prevents you from doing your job - Leading.

9/ Not Walking The Talk

You must be a role model for your team.

So if they need to stay late, you should stay late to aid them.

Your crew is always watching. Start with your own. They'll copy.

10/ Not Delegating

Delegation requires upfront work, and trusting your team to do the job right can be difficult.

You'll never have time to focus on the "bigger picture" until you delegate duties.

You won't grow your staff to take the strain off you.

11/ Playing Too Safe

We are naturally protective and risk-averse.

Too many leaders push individuals to stay safe, or "play not to lose."

But the finest leaders build enough trust for people to take risks and "play to win."

12/ Not Defining Expectations

As a leader, you must define what success looks like and identify potential roadblocks.

While encouraging innovation is important, setting clear expectations will help keep the team on track.

13/ Stranger Danger

A leader who does not care about people is doomed to fail.

Employees aren't commodities to be tallied; they are individuals.

Acknowledge your team in order to lead effectively.

14/ Outsourcing Goals

Setting clear, quantifiable project goals puts the Leader's reputation at risk.

It's safer to write a big check to a consultant and hope for the best.

If things improve, the leader is a hero. If it fails, β€œEven X couldn't fix it”

15/ Rush Recruiting

Filling a vacant position too fast might be a costly error.

Rushing recruitment might result in hiring unproductive and incompetent team members.

Worse, having to "carry" the underperformer will stress and upset other team members.

16/ Hounding Glory

Taking the credit but not the blame.

Glorious hounds make terrible leaders.

In order to be a great leader, you must take full responsibility for both your successes and failures.
17/ Assuming Self-Expertise

Assuming expert intelligence is a common leadership blunder, especially when change is the new norm.

No one knows everything.

Leaders should perceive things from a newbie's perspective, full of wonder and curiosity.
18/ Blocking Opportunities

They see their people as rivals.

Real leaders generate opportunities, share credit, and help their teams improve.

Insecure leaders FAIL to perceive their teams as an extension of themselves.

Almost all possessed a Killer Paradoxical Leadership Quality.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/ The Meek Optimist

"Self-Confidence may be mistaken for egotism if it is not accompanied by the Humility of the heart" - Napolean Hill

These Leaders have both confidence and humility to develop synergy in relationships.

Eg: @BarackObama

2/ The Blind Visionary

They Leverage both their Vision and their Blind Spots.

Such leaders need the vision to guide them, yet their blind spots frequently drive them to think outside the box, giving them a FEELING that they can succeed.

Eg: @elonmusk
