Worst manager I ever had was super "Input focused". I was store manager, he was DM. I remember one month when my store was the only store in the district in the black, but we were so positive that the district was in the black. He got his monthly bonus on the back of my staff. I got repaid by being dragged into his office and hollered at for an hour because I only averaged 52 hours a week in store that month. 30% gains didn't matter. Leading the district in every measurable metric didn't matter. He was pissed because I wasn't clocked in for as much time as he'd like. Only averaging 12 weekly hours of overtime on my salary. Suffice to say I wasn't with that company much longer, so really he did me a favor.
Vry effective vdo lecture. Top level executives or managers r the backbone of any Sector or organization etc.They should understand the problems of the employees nd need to b humble.They should avoid self centred approach nd egoism as by doing this they affects the organization in negative way.Manager should be matured in my opinion as a professional in brief.Vry.nice tips nd inspiring too.
I have someone that I work with in a senior role (that I don't role up to) that embodies every trait you described and has constantly hurt our team morale because of this over the few years I've worked with them. I've felt no way out because of it and feel as though there's no where to turn for help. Also on a side note, have you ever done audiobooks? You have a phenomenal voice for narration!
I love your videos and they inspire me to either make inner changes or move forward when I can't I feel sorry to agree with you on the masked image of success that many managers have....maybe they are just good to sell a vision, without necessarily giving the answer
Worst Manger I had was the one I recently had. He makes himself “bigger” than he really is. He constantly would tell me I needed to fix things and do better but never would help be succeed. I think the bigger issue though I had is that he constantly compares the company with his past experiences ,, I feel it is understandable for a while, but if you been with the company for a few years, then you dont need stop comparing the eggs.
@@CLWillYesssssss!!! This!!! It is absolutely epidemic in Mid/Upper/Executive Management. Here's something to think on : if those guys never showed up for another day, the mail would still get delivered. So, tell me again exactly WHO is more important to the company??
You have to convince _their_ manager that: a) there is a real, clear, objective issue, not just you or someone with an axe to grind, b) that issue is costing the company (in people, but most importantly in $$), c) that cost is vastly higher than that person's crappy behavior is bringing in, d) there is a viable alternative. The problem is almost always C. They know the person is a pain in the tail, but that person brings in so much revenue. That whatever the cost, the $$ coming in outweighs the negative. They can't imagine replacing them. Which brings up D. There has to be a way forward. In my experience, A has to get so terrible, that B gets on senior people's radar, causing questions about C, which gets them looking for D. Hard work, but it can be done, and does happen. You need their boss to see all of this. Good luck.
"Like cockroaches" Seriously? I understand that performance can be on a scale of great to bad. But I think "people" regardless of competence shouldn't in any circumstance be compared to insects in a derogatory manner. I'm not a manager and I've found almost all videos likeable, even this one until that last statement.
This is the most on point video about bad managers. It deserves a lot more views.
Thanks! Share it with your friends 😀
I am tempted to share this with my bad managers! Very well explained, thank you.

Sounds like a nightmare.
Awesome content! This invites for self-reflection to avoid falling on these pitfalls and instead to become a great leader! Thanks for sharing!

Love the beige toaster in the background
That is an ORIGINAL Mac. I bought that in Feb of 1984, just weeks after the famous Mac Super Bowl commercial. Love that thing.

Everything you spoke of sounds like everything required in the USPS.
Ouch!

This is the wikipedia of my manager!!
Another great clip
Glad you enjoyed it
My current manager has all of these faults.
Ouch sorry
What do we do about them? How do we prevent them from enduring? We identified a bad manager. How do we now fix the problem?

I had a manager tell me "I don't care what you do but don't make me look bad".

LOL 😂.
@@CLWill Has that been that your typical response to feedback or just this instance?
@@zshn I think you are mistaking the use of a common analogy for a personal slight.
