10 Signs They Are Not A Good Leader
Most of us have worked for leaders that are for all intents and purposes are not very good. I actually learned a lot in my early days of leadership from some really bad leaders. Not only were they bad leaders, they were oblivious to the negative affects of their poor leadership. There are many signs that a leader is not a good leader and I have identified 10 Signs below.
The reason I attribute these signs to not being a ”Good Leader” is because a leader has to at least reach the mantle of being a “Good Leader” before they can be a ”Great Leader” Here are 10 Signs They Are Not A Good Leader… Remember ”They”could be you!
- 1. they are not willing to fail.
- 2. they only talk and never listen.
- 3. they don’t develop and produce other leaders.
- 4. they micro-manage; that’s management not leadership.
- 5. they are insecure or threatened by someone that they lead.
- 6. they are not willing to follow and learn from those that they lead.
- 7. they are focused on pleasing people and what people think. Consumed with whether or not they look good to their superiors.
- 8. they don’t genuinely care about the people they lead and have difficulty getting people to follow.
- 9. they are willing to make the wrong decision, because of the fear of fall-out from making the right decision.
- 10. they only dream about being like so and so, instead of being the best they can be.
They either ”don’t do” or “are not working towards” the 5 Things Next-Level Leaders Alaways Do!
