A recent article, 15 Mistakes Successful Leaders Know to Avoid by Deep Patel says that while most effective leaders strive to develop positive leadership attitudes, they also learn to avoid the following mistakes that can adversely affect their leadership.
- Know-it- all mentality.
The worst thing that can happen to a team is to work with a boss who believes they know it all and thinks everyone under them is there to follow and do their commands.
- Micromanage employees.
Poor leaders are not trusting their employees completely, and not allowing their staff to work without constant and close supervision. They don’t value the strengths and skills of their team members, and they don’t support career growth.
- Ignore the importance of communication.
Many leaders fail to encourage their team mainly because they don’t hold face to face meetings in a meeting space to convey important messages, but instead they just send a company-wide email which can only bring confusion and chaos.
- Disregard the importance of emotional intelligence.
Many ineffective leaders lack emotional intelligence, thus when confronted with problems and difficulties, they lose their temper and allow their emotions flare up – failing to see the harm they create in their workforce and workplace.
- Unable to give positive feedback.
Ineffective leaders tend to be selfish in giving credit and positive feedback to others. They have not recognized the value of constructive criticism which acknowledges employees’ strengths while helping them improve weak areas.
