 1. Loves brown-nosers, tattletales, and relatives who report to them. Chooses favourite employees, then covers up or makes excuses for the poor work of incompetent favourites; ignores selected people or discriminates against employees.
2. Fails to communicate expectations, timelines or goals; changes those frequently, leaving employees off balance.
3. Inappropriately disciplines when simple, positive communication would correct the problem; ignores employees until there is a problem, then attacks.
4. Intimidates or bullies staff, often making loud accusations, then doesn’t provide the airtime for staff to respond to accusations and comments.
5. Takes credit for accomplishments of employees; quick to blame staff when something goes wrong; fails to reward good performance.
