Have you had a manager yell at you? Belittle you? Intimidate you? Unfortunately, many of us have and many will. Weak managers are in abundance in the work place. Liz Ryan of Human Workplace provides 11 signs that you may be working for a week manager. The good news is Liz outlines how this is an opportunity you can turn to your advantage.
Don't want to be a weak manager? Ask yourself each one of the 11 signs - are you guilty of any of these with your team? If you are, it's time to change and be the manager that people want to work for. Trust, not ruling by fear, will enable you to manage your employees better; & ultimately become a leader.

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. ~Do not solve problems or improve processes. ~Are technically incompetent and lack talent. ~Make unwise, ill-informed, and ineffective decisions. |
