Thank you for invitation for a human touch related question on leadership.

Everyone is human being and tend to have both good and bad qualities and if not that is not human being but God. Therefore leader is not exempted to this.

Only the concern is that whether he/she uses such bad qualities or unwanted characters at people or otherwise.

Yes, of course some leaders might have bad qualities such as the following terrible or unwanted characteristics: 

1. Lack of Transparency and narrow worldview.

2. Not Listening and dismiss good ideas of subordinates.

3. Valuing experienced ones over potential new employees.

4. Lack of Empathy.

5. Forgetting About Leadership Development.

6. Poor Communication of Strategy and closed mindset.

However, I think that What all managers and CEOs should fix, stat  or risk having a bad reputation and a toxic work environment.

We are all humans, so all of us has his own unwanted characteristics 

But to be a good leader you shold isolate it from your decision , or at least have the ability to fix its effects later

Thanks Mr Omar for invitation :

Sometimes we find the right person in the right job  meaning it has the best qualities of the leader and sometimes you think it's the wrong person for the right job which means he has no criterion to be a leader

A leader is a person, a person is human being, and a human being is with errors, we cant say any one is perfect, both the characters are present in a leader, and then it depends upon him/her, if  he want to use the good quality then surely will lead anywhere, and obviuosly if he or she is demonstrating any bad qualities while leading an organistation, naturally he/she will not be a leader any more.

Off course a leader has bad qualities too. We are all humans. How is it at all possible to be free of bad intentions, vengeance, selfishness, etc. ? Its natural. But as human beings I guess we hav been gifted with power of discretion n reasoning n deciding whats good n bad so that we can choose. Moreso, when you are incharge of a team, their lives, their future, their families n their career progression depends on your actions n choices in your business. Getting profits is good but at the same time thise who made your prifits possible need to be taken care of. Its here where a leader needs to conquer over his bad qualities or characteristics or intentions, whatever we call it, n do the RIGHT THING. I dont mind saying that i have led people in my life n hav had tendencies to take wrong decisions but its thinking to do the RIGHT THING which arrested that tendency. I always say that leadership n even a role of a facilitator in a class session is an ACT, a PERFORMANCE, with no RETAKES. Leaders n facilitators are being watched at all times by inquisitive, anxious, info-hungry, aspiring leaders of tomoro. If we make one wring move, its going to be replicated 10 fold. Leaders shud be n are an inspiration, hence, doing the RIGHT thibg in the presence if bad qualities or intentions is what makes a good leader. Just like the old saying that Courage is not absence of fear but doing The RIGHT THING in the presence of fear

A True Leader maks right calls most of the times in the interest of Corporate Goals and his Employee Engagement. However he is also human to make few mistakes on the way. But these mistakes are very few as compared to numerous right calls he take and make amends for mistake he has done when he realizes them . Then only he is true leader.

A Smart Question indeed; thank you so much Sir.

I fully endorse answer given by Mr. John Mohammad; his words are a true reflection of my own thinking.

In a nutshell,"To err is human" and a Leader, being a human, is no exception.

Yes, of course

Some managers have bad qualities, cause stress to employees, and create an atmosphere of tension at work.
