Three "Bad Boss" Habits to Avoid in 2024
Resist the urge to emotionally detach, control outcomes or blindly comply.
As the new year swings open its doors, promising a fresh start and a burst of motivation, it also brings the daunting prospect of having to do it all over again. Despite our best efforts to lead with empathy, authenticity and clarity, we often find ourselves slipping back into bad habits that can frustrate our teams and harm our organisations.
The characteristics of good bosses is a subject of ongoing debate. Countless books are written on the topic each year, many of which offer inconclusive findings. However, certain fundamentals remain unquestionable: a clear vision; a well-defined and aligned strategy; an inclusive, intellectually stimulating, and creative work environment; and a commitment to developing employees to their full potential.
While this looks achievable on paper, events often derail us from our "true north". When emotions run high, we become susceptible to falling into three mindsets that undermine our effectiveness and erode trust within our teams.
