Leadership Mistakes

• Trying to prove your worth
• Insecurity
• Micromanaging
• Not delegating
• Competing with reports
• Complaining

• Treating people like kids, the workplace is not day-care

• Single management style, mostly the style in which you prefer to be managed

• Hiring people like yourself

• Being all-business, viewing people as “resources”

• Impatience
• Not listening well

• Not asking the right questions

• Don’t let people pressure you into decisions you don’t believe in. They’ll hold you responsible for them later, and they’ll be right. Decisions are your responsibility.
