Five Types Of Incompetent Leadership

Before becoming a leader, leaders should first ask themselves two basic questions: "what is the motive force to motivate me as a leader?" and "what is the purpose of my leadership?" if the answer to the first question is "power, fame and money", then the leader will eventually fall into the "incompetent" trap.

Five kinds of incompetent leaders include:

The first is the impersonator who lacks self-consciousness and self-esteem.

The second is the sophistry who deviates from his original values.

The third is those who are always eager for praise.

The fourth is a lonely person who fails to establish his own personal support network.

The fifth is meteors who can't build a complete life.

Impostor tends to go all the way in their own organizations by playing with various means. They are well versed in the secret of getting rich and rich, and do not allow anyone to block their way forward.

Most of them are faithful followers of Machiavelli. They always try their best to climb up their minds. They are the best political animals. They can easily dig out their potential competitors and eradicate them one by one. They do not like to reflect on themselves, and rarely make themselves more self-conscious.

Former US President Lincoln once said, "if you want to test a person, give him absolute power." After gaining power, these imposters often feel that they lack sufficient self-confidence and do not know how to use power, so they will begin to suspect that their subordinates are always aiming at their positions. Obviously, they are best at internal battles.

Because their hearts are always full of doubts, they can not make decisions decisively. This indecision has a direct impact on the company's performance and competitiveness, and it is against internal criticism and blocking the way. In this way, competent subordinates begin to talk with their superiors and start closing their mouths, and those who remain in the organization feel a sense of autonomy.

Outside the organization, people who can justify themselves always seem to get away from things. When the development of the situation is bad for themselves, they will blame the external cause or their subordinates, or find some solutions to solve the problem. Such people rarely take the initiative to take responsibility.

As their status in the organization continues to improve and the challenges they face are greater and greater, they will shift pressure to their subordinates. When this approach still fails to achieve the desired results, they will reduce the funds invested in technology research, enterprise development plan or organization building, so as to achieve the predetermined performance standards in the short term. In the end, their organizations will have to pay for these shortsighted practices. They will start tampering with financial data, such as misrepresenting future earnings in quarterly sales, or using them. Stock To fill the customer's warehouse. And plausibly said that he will soon turn it into reality. In recent years, these practices of the sophistry are becoming more and more obvious. Many executives sacrifice the long-term interests of the company in order to cater to the expectations of investors. As Warren Burns said, "denial and prediction are the great enemies that prevent us from recognizing reality."

Fame and fortune always define themselves with the external evaluation of themselves. value 。 In pursuit of success, they define their goals as money, fame, glory and power. In many cases, they seem to feel that their names can be found in the list of the most powerful business leaders, which is more important than the long-term value of the organization. They have an uncontrollable longing for fame. Because there are always some people in the world who are richer, more famous and more powerful than them, no matter what they have achieved, they can never feel it. satisfy 。 Deep down, these people feel very empty.

The loner will refuse to establish close relationship with others or refuse to establish any support network. They believe they can and must complete their own work independently. But unlike those who are introverted, lonely people often make some serious mistakes. When they fail to achieve the desired result and people begin to question their leadership ability, they will be in a tight battle and try their best to beat the doubters. They are only trying to pursue their own goals in a hard way. They simply can not realize that sometimes their behavior is hampered their own development. It is in this process that their organizations begin to fall apart.

The life of meteors is entirely centered on work. In the eyes of onlookers, meteors are just like a perpetual motion machine. They are always turning, and are always rushing ahead. They rarely set aside time for their families, friends, communities, or even themselves. They would rather sacrifice their precious sleep and exercise time for their work. As the meteor's pace grows faster and faster, its pressure will become bigger and bigger.
