Dear Ibrahim,  There is no a bad leader, once you are a leader...
you are in the TOP level of qualification and human talent.
so let's talk about good leader habits.
In business we have a10 Key Differences between Leaders and Managers: Attributes of a leader:     Studies, and develops ideas and principles     Innovates     Resourceful and looks for solutions to problems     Empathetic with a focus on people     Inspires trust among stakeholders     Understands the big picture     Superior listening skills     Courageously challenges the state of affairs, and asks why and what can be improved     Looks for opportunities to develop strengths     Develops a following   Here are some tips to help you make the necessary improvements: 1.
Managers give answers, leaders ask questions.
  There’s nothing certain to turn your employees against you faster than shouting orders at them.
Why not spare yourself the impending resentment and simply ask your employees this: “What would you do?” or “What do you think of this idea?” Allowing people to participate in the decision-making process will not only transform what could have been an order into something more easily swallowed--it also inspires creativity, motivation, and autonomy.
2.
Managers criticize mistakes, leaders call attention to mistakes indirectly.
  It may seem more efficient to point out your employees’ mistakes directly, but this will only leave them feeling embarrassed and frustrated.
You should really be giving them the chance to learn and grow from through your critiques.
Instead, give your employees the chance to address their mistakes.For example, say a project was sent to a client and you receive back a disgruntled message.
Calmly ask your employee about the clients concern and whether they feel what was provided was on par.
This will give them a chance to provide their input, while also improving for the future.
3.
Managers forget to praise, leaders reward even the smallest improvement.
  Praise pays off when it comes to increasing the overall success of your company.
Finding time to recognize your employees for even the smallest accomplishment will only increase their interest in what they do.
If you’re interested in ensuring your employees take pride in all that they do, regular feedback and recognition is certain to do the trick.
Everyone wants to be genuinely appreciated for their efforts.
4.
Managers focus on the bad, leaders emphasize the good.
  This really comes down to seeing the cup half empty or half full.
If you’re only willing to point out the flaws of a project or an employee, you’re not giving them much interest in learning or improving.
Instead, create a sandwich effect.
Start with some form of praise, follow with the criticism, and end with praise.
5.
Managers want credit, leaders credit their teams.
  Managers who lack leadership abilities are always first to take credit.
But effective leaders understand the importance of crediting their teams for the big wins.
This pays off in the long run for creative a workplace with a more positive company culture and employees who are driven toward more successes as a team.Management shouldn’t be approach through force, but rather through influence.
Put these techniques in place to improve the way your employees perform.

It is said that a manager asks “how” and “when”, whereas a leader asks “what” and why”. In many professions, managers and leaders assume the same role. However, if a leader of a business simply manages a company – rather than challenge its true potential – then it will likely fall behind its industry peers. Likewise, if managers overstep their bounds and attempt to revolt against the company, then they may soon find themselves out of the job. In some cases, where micromanagement is essential to maximize efficiency, nurture skills and keep employees organized, strong managers are an absolute necessity to prevent high turnover rates and the “brain drain” of a skilled workforce. A good leader will also stay in the front line of battle, and be familiar with every aspect of the company, leading through inspiration rather than coercing through hierarchical control. A perfect manager who attains the status of a true leader will be able to lead people effectively and draw on the correct strengths and knowledge of every key individual in the company. Many managers will struggle for their entire careers and never attain this, but a skilled few will evolve into true leaders

Good Leader : - Good Listener - Good Trainer - Trusting them to do the work - Not giving orders or setting visions, goals and objectives, but instead soliciting this from them so that everyone is fully involved in how the company will be successful.
- Providing direction when needed to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
A good leader communicates the vision that was set by all.
If it is a vision of little interest, then another one must be found.
- Use more we rather than I.
Like Good leader should always believe in doing things together rather than taking full credit on its own.
Bad Leader : - Failing to listen or only perfunctorily listening to complaints and suggestions.
- Exhibiting the “Do as I say, not as I do” mentality - Withholding information - Being afraid to discipline and never disciplining anyone - Us versus them mentality—“Why aren’t they performing better?”— “What’s wrong with that person? Why don’t they know their job? They should know their job.” - Being afraid to discipline and never disciplining anyone ...
and so on....

Hi Ibrahim Asmar, A Good Leader Will: ~ Step outside of their Comfort Zones to make Change Happen ~ Take Risks, Make Sacrifices and sometimes Pay a Cost to Achieve their Dream ~ Have the Interests of others above their Own ~ Attract Followers ~ Bring an Innovative Perspective to Problem Solving A Bad Leader Will: ~ Not reward Others for their Accomplishments and Efforts ~ Create Chaos in between Teams and organizational Structures ~ Believe that they are Smarter than Everybody Else ~ Prescribe before Diagnosing the Circumstances and Situation ~ Remain Silent when they should Speak and Speak when they should be Silent
