How do you describe a bad leader?

I know all about this from my experience at an old employer. I had a leader who treated me like I was worthless. A leader who told me, “there’s no pride in being the tallest midget.” He told me this when I became the best leader in our area but it was my first month, but in the company I was still ranked in the 100’s.

You can’t lead with fear and power. It never works out. Leading like this isn’t sustainable. You may be able to make it work for a little bit until everyone rebels. And they’ll use their “leadership” skills when you already eel bad. They’ll kick you when you’re already down because their goal is to embarrass you. 

These bad leaders believe they are before the team. No one comes before the mission of the team. To compare, it’s a real narcissistic trait they be. So belittling you makes them validate their worth. 

​This leader is the perfect example of what not to do.
