  • Summary

  • Yep. You read that right. I’m going to tell you all the steps you can take to become a bad manager. A number of years ago I was fortunate enough to work for a large company and had a great manager for about a year. In fact, he was the best manager I’ve ever had. But then, as they do, the organization decided to restructure, and as a result, I was placed under another manager – the worst manager I’ve ever had. I learned a lot from that dramatic switch. I learned what it felt like to be under a great manager and how much being under an awful manager changed my world for the worse. But, through that pain, it brought me to a deeper understanding of what truly makes a bad manager and solidified in my mind all of the things I never wanted to become. Thus, I share with you 10 steps to Becoming a Bad Manager: Take all the credit and none of the blame Talk down to your employees Punish and stifle honesty and feedback Demand your employees put your needs above theirs Be stingy with time off Berate or embarrass employees in front of team members Gaslight employees about their work Use employee reviews as a method of punishment Micromanage Create emergencies And there you have it, 10 sure steps to make you a bad manager. If you can successfully follow these tips, you too can achieve this status. Now that you know what it takes to be a bad manager, maybe it will help you understand what kind of manager you want to be. Thoughts? Too harsh? Do you have some of your own tips based on your experiences? Share them in the comments.
