6 things you do that make you like a bad manager ⚠️ (even if you don't realize it)
You don’t have to be toxic to be a bad manager.
Sometimes, it’s the small habits that slowly break trust and motivation on your team.
Here’s what I’ve seen most often:
1️⃣ You confuse control with clarity
↳ Micromanaging every task doesn’t make you a great leader — it just makes people stop thinking for themselves.
2️⃣ You talk more than you listen
↳ If every meeting is a monologue, you’re not leading, you’re lecturing.
3️⃣ You avoid tough conversations
↳ Ignoring issues doesn’t make them disappear; it makes your team feel unseen.
4️⃣ You don’t give credit publicly
↳ People remember who lifted them up — and who stayed silent when they shined.
5️⃣ You set vague expectations
↳ “Do your best” isn’t clarity. Clear goals and ownership create accountability.
6️⃣ You measure output, not people
↳ Deadlines matter, but so does burnout, trust, and team morale.
Great managers don’t just deliver results.
They build environments where people want to keep delivering results.
Because leadership isn’t about power.
It’s about responsibility and how you make people feel while you lead.
Which one do you think most managers still get wrong?
Most managers don’t lose their teams overnight. They lose them slowly. If you want to lead better without becoming controlling or distant, talk to Amit.
