How a Bad Manager is Ruining the Business

Poor leadership is more than just an inconvenience; it’s a direct threat to business success. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we dive deep into the real-world impact of bad managers and why they remain a persistent problem, even as we approach 2025.

When I ask audiences at my keynotes, “Who has had a bad manager?” the response is overwhelming: 90% of people raise their hands. How is it that in an age where we understand the importance of leadership, so many organizations are still plagued by poor management?

The solution lies in leadership that focuses on empowering others. Good leaders step back and allow their team to shine. They invest in growth, encourage innovation, and prioritize the development of their people. In contrast, bad managers often stifle creativity, demotivate employees, and ultimately hurt the business.

This episode explores what makes bad managers so damaging, the reasons why poor leadership still exists, and most importantly, what can be done to change the game. If we focus on leadership that empowers, supports, and elevates, businesses will thrive, and the era of bad managers will come to an end.

Tune in and learn how you can make a difference, whether you’re a manager yourself or just starting your leadership journey.
