Bad Leadership Behavior

Introduction

The current trends and conditions which are prevailing in the organizations have enhanced the accountability for bad leadership behavior. It is detrimental to the employees' motivation and satisfaction. The parent and community participation have also increased in the education sector at the district level. The bad leaders are creating various issues and problems for the organizations and mostly for the employees. Leaders get too busy in the day-to-day affairs of the organization that they forget to take a step backwards to look at the bigger picture. Leaders are supposed to have foresight and the ability to translate vision to reality. Unfortunately, this lacks in the bad leaders (Liu et.al, 2013).

Research has shown that there are 5 common traps or bad habits that more than 10% of all leaders demonstrate. After leaving a meeting with a bad leader, you feel exhausted and de-motivated. Bad leaders set appointments and are late for them or do not show up at all. Bad leaders talk down to you. Bad leaders put themselves and their emotions above the team. Bad leaders think they are the team. Bad leaders love group thought. Bad leaders develop themselves. Bad leaders expect you to know what they are thinking (Fleishman, 1998).

This is also a symptom that the leader does not trust his subordinates. The findings obtained clearly indicated that there is a nonlinear relationship between turnover and leader exchange, turnover is the lowest when the leader exchange is minimum, high turnover was associated with bad leader exchange (Thoroughgood et.al, 2010).
