Poor leaders are a death sentence.
They alienate quality team-members. They disrupt workflow. They drive passion and motivation off a cliff.
And yet our cup runneth over with them. Why?
Often, it’s because they cultivate the right skills to appear effective at the expense of being effective.
They can be easy to spot if you know what to look for.
Here are five clear signs of poor leadership.
#1. Nobody raises problems
You can’t fix what you don’t know about. So if nobody is raising issues, nothing is getting fixed. Meaning nothing improves.
It could also be that there are so many problems people have become numb to them. Nobody knows what to raise because everything is a problem.
