Controlling

Came across this person who manages his company with tightly clenched tentacles (not mine!). No one under him dares to make any decisions big or small without going through him. It's quite sad for everyone there because he can't be everywhere all at once and most of everything is on hold.

And he has the gall to loudly complain to outsiders that this and that project got delayed because of the laziness of the project manager. My only thought was, if only he could see that he was the bottleneck to the efficiency of the company. Trampling the self-worth and dignity of your staff by blaming them when things go wrong is not the solution.

But he's not the only one who is practicing this poor leadership model (if you can even call it leadership). It's appalling. We need better role models.
