Bad Leadership-When leadership fails



There are so many ways to think that you are involved with a good leader. However, as time goes on you find out that you are not working with a clean, cut, and dry of a leader. There is that negative side of a leader having bad leadership.

On the flipside of it you are looking and expecting a good leader to have a true and sincere heart in the things that he/she is telling you. You expect that their communication skills are well groomed, then there is their professional business knowledge, and finally you expect that have a good heart. You hope for a sense of compassion, and empathy from them when times call for that side of them to be displayed. What you don’t expect is for a leader to trick you into doing things for their personal gain. You also don’t them to manipulate and control you in a way where all the benefits points to them.

We can’t assume that just because a person holds a certain position that they are a good leader. This is not true. Keep in mind that all leaders are not the same. There comes a point and time when a company needs to be able to recognize that there are problems in the leadership. When there is a problem in leadership that equals to bad leadership.

There are some real obvious things to notice when leadership is failing. You have to be very mindful of seeing a change in the company with the leadership. Complete detail can be found here about the signs to know with bad leadership
.
Here is a list of a few red flags to know about a bad leader:


  • When leaders fail to lead themselves
  • Put-up or shut-up
  • Beware of the know –it all
  • When there’s failure to communicate
  •  It’s all about them
  • Death by comfort zone
  • The “A” word (accountable)
  • Strong persuasion
  • Being the center of attention


To conclude this post is to note that leaders need to be honest, have a successful track record from beginning to end, display great communication skills, and lead others with a servant’s heart. If you are not seeing these traits by your leader then nine times out of ten, he/she are displaying bad leadership skills. You must do your due diligence and research who you are dealing with and know what they are all about. If you don’t you could be taken on a rocky ride.

A Mentor-Who is amazing!

To define or describe a mentor to be amazing is such a HUGE word! When I think of my mentor and the millions who don’t know her the way that I do she is someone to get to know.


Her level of leadership, skills, and knowledge is comprised of so much! She has the heart of gold and seeks to help as many people as she can. There is no one I am more proud of to have helped me as much as she has then Terri Pattio.
Since I have built a relationship with her over these many months a year to be exact, I became to know her in a very special way. For all of the help that I need she is there. She has supported  me 100% of the way! She has my back no matter what. When it comes to offline as well as online I know I can depend on her commitment. She will go over and above to get you to your success.


Terri, is a mentor who stays on my mind all of the time even if I don’t speak with her on the phone for a day. There is nothing that I do without thinking about her. Because of those thoughts being so strong there is this one song that sticks in my head. “You are amazing just the way you are”. The song has it’s own meaning to it however, just that hook line stayed in my spirit.
I dedicate this post to you Terri Pattio, a mentor who I will be forever grateful for.


Amazing people will change your life.

I need you to read a very serious and touching story about Terri Pattio here.

Terri Pattio, is truly “a mentor with a servant’s heart”
