Think back to your past managers. Then read this list below and count on your hands how many of these behaviors were exhibited in these former managers:

  • Lack of empathy: Unable or unwilling to relate to your team’s experiences or feelings

  • Micromanagement: Checking on in every. Little. Thing. You did, making you feel like they don’t trust you

  • Unable to handle criticism: They can deal it, but they can’t take it

  • Unable to express appreciation: On the flip side of the previous one, they don’t recognize you when you do great work
