Surprisingly, a high percentage of managers fail at their job, for many reasons. Some do not have the right ability to manage and develop people, some cannot adapt to the talents and personalities of the staff and some are simply not interested in being good managers. While some of them are totally toxic, there is also a small percentage that slightly hides the toxicity part, but these 4 signs show it best: The
superior is punishing and threatening
Are you often threatened that if you do not submit a project on time, you will be punished? And when you fail to deliver, does he really punish you? It may seem like a good technique to avoid unwanted behavior in the future, but in fact, threat and punishment do not encourage positive nor productive behavior for employees. People who are punished, or threatened with punishment, are often unhappy and want to leave the workplace.
When you privilege yourself
When power is used only for personal purposes, it brings negative effects. Often the superiors get "drunk" from the advantages they enjoy due to their position in the company and outside it and thus forget the interests and wishes of the staff. Slowly, an unhealthy ego builds up and superiors exhibit toxic behavior.
Tends to be divisive
Have you noticed times when a superior tells you that someone else does the job better than you, or when he compares work teams? There are also cases when the superiors favor the employees, thus creating an unpleasant feeling for the rest of the staff. The favoritism of employees can also come because some of them "fit" with the interests, wishes and thoughts of the superior, so they benefit from some advantages more than an employee who works as much as he is paid, without aspiring to agree with everything the superior says. .
Lying
Studies show that people value integrity and honesty in their superiors. There are cases when the superiors deceive and do not admit at any moment that they are wrong, so this also causes the lack of trust of the staff towards him. Most likely, if a superior lies, it's not the first time and it won't be the last.
