What Are The Signs That Your Boss Is A Weak Manager?

Thanks

• When S-he changes his-her mind hundreds a day.
• When S-he says something and does another thing.
• When S-he afraid to makes decision, and let one of his-her employee take it.
• When S-he hide behind one of his-her employee.
• When S-he usually says YES for top management without discussions.
• When S-he does not built a strong team.
• When S-he does not built leaders through his-her team.
• When S-he creates spies from his-her team and give them his-her ears.
• When S-he leave the company - team within hard time, instead of facing it with them.  

Further to my brother Omar Saad Ibrahim, it will reflect through his/her decisions that how much he/she is strong as well relationship with his/her team.

Everything OMAR said, and then some:

- lack of emotional intelligence

- lack of courtesy in conversation (at worst yelling at people and showing utter disrespect to another human being)

- inability to interchange STICK and CARROT (inability to give praise for job well done, and overuse of criticism)

- lack of genuine care for employees

- not understanding that any manager's output is the SUM OF EMPLOYEES' output

- believing him or herself to be the smartest person in the universe (narcissism - a mental illness at worst)

- openly preferring some subordinates over others based on work-irrelevant criteria like sex, appearance, whether a person is introvert or extrovert, whether a person is connected to influential people or not etc

- lack of personal integrity

Agree With Mr. Omar on his answer

 

I agree with Omar, and a weak boss is also: - The one that always criticizes; but lacks appreciation to his subordinates. - Credit grabber. - Those who points out mistakes but is not making an effort to teach his subordinates. - Makes decision, but when he failed he would put the blame on others. - Leading by command, not by example. - Those who always makes their subordinate feel inferior.

No leadership

Cannot command
