Employees are often promoted to management because they have the technical skills to be successful in their position. Subsequently, they are not given the tools to be effective in their new role. Very often a new manager may not be aware of issues such as:
Mismanaging their incompetence- Angry and everyone knows it
- A lack of clarity with direction
- Micromanaging
- Setting employees up to fail (often unwittingly)
- Picking favorite employees
- Low availability
- Taking credit for others work
- Don’t recognize accomplishments of others
- False promises
- Not standing up for employees
- Overworking employees
- Poor listening skills
- Always right
… all of which could lead the staff to say: “It’s time to look for another job.”
But it doesn't end there! There are other frequent occurrences of "bad-boss syndrome":
- Not giving a problem employee honest feedback because of fear of conflict- then surprising them at a review.
- Not delegating, rather than developing employees’ skills.
- Assuming your team knows exactly what you want them to do without giving them specific direction.
Fortunately, you can avoid a bad boss scenario and the consequences they bring.
… and potentially be considered one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For as found on Seattle Business Magazine each year.
Do you have newer managers or employees who have recently been promoted in desperate need of some training? (Maybe you are a new supervisor and want to accelerate your training.)
