Emily Douglas cites “9 bad habits leaders need to quit” (October 2017).

These destructive practices, listed in no particular order, are:

• Micromanaging
• Ignoring feedback
• Taking all the credit
• Outdated appraisal systems
• Not taking risks
• Self-doubt
• Condescending behaviour
• Being a tyrant
• Not praising your staff

Try this.

Consider the list.  Then choose one that you’re guilty of.  What can you do about it tomorrow?

And if you’re not a leader, which item might you speak to your own leader about … and by doing so, help them to get better?
