I often ask the audience if they have followed a bad leader. The audience immediately complained, and people raised their hands and rushed to answer the question.
Many leaders can give employees a good first impression. This also makes the employees who started the new job more optimistic, and they hope to start a new job smoothly.
But over time, employees will see their true colors through the illusion of leadership disguise. If the boss is a jerk, the staff will find out sooner or later.
There are usually three cases：
1. Never get attention
The Canadian writer Malcolm Gladwell wrote in the book "Blink" that interpersonal expert John Gottman can talk to both husband and wife. Accurately predict the level of their marriage.
If the spouse always insults the other party, the marriage is bound to break.
According to my observation, once leaders despise their subordinates, they will manipulate them, materialize them, and not even treat them as adults. It is absolutely inappropriate for the leader to do so.
2.Untrustworthy person
No one wants to work with someone they don't trust.
The breakdown of the relationship of trust between leaders and subordinates is like a broken mirror.
Without trust, the cracks in interpersonal relationships are difficult to bridge.
As a leader, building and maintaining trust matters and communicates. If you don't want employees to leave you, trust them consistently and honestly.
3.Insufficient person
Incompetent leadership distracts the team, wastes employee effort, and hampers employee attention to key issues. They make employees no longer pay attention to the vision and organizational values, but instead focus on leadership behavior.
If the subordinates are very capable, they will worry about whether the leader will mess up the work; if the subordinates are weak or inexperienced, they will not know what to do. In both cases, employee productivity is reduced.
