My Worst Leader

There are many factors that can make someone a poor leader. The worst leader I ever had was my boss at the insurance company I worked for last year. My boss played favorites, did not do her work, micromanaged, lacked human skills, and recorded everything wrong that someone had ever done. All of these factors are what made her the worst leader I have ever had in my life. The first reason my boss was the worst leader I ever had was because she played favorites. First, my boss was only friendly towards the people that she liked in our department. She would say good morning to them, she would take an interest in their personal life, and she would ask about their weekend plans. She never asked anyone else those types of things, and we felt distanced
She would had out the easiest work to the people she actually liked. The rest of us struggled to get our work done by the end of the day while her favorite people always finished beforehand. Finally, she would gossip with her favorites about other people. Sometimes we would overhear them which made for a hostile work environment. Playing favorites was one factor that made her a poor leader. The second reason my boss was the worst leader I ever had was that she would give all of her work to the rest of us but take credit for it. First, everyone in the department had job duties specific to each person including my boss. She would start out the day with work on her desk, but she always walked around and distributed her work to the rest of the department. Next, people from other departments would bring her reports and documents that she needed to sign, review, or check. She would give those materials to us which only added to our chaotic day. She on the other hand, would just stare at her computer all day. Finally, she would take credit for doing the work, and the CFO praised her for her ability to get so much work done. Taking credit for work she did not do made by boss a poor
This was very annoying because our jobs had to be done in a certain order. If we had not gotten that far yet, it would still have to wait to be done. Finally, if she did not like the way you did something she would go and redo it. She would tell you that she had to redo it, but she would not explain what was wrong with it. Being a micromanager was another factor that made by boss a poor leader. The fourth reason my boss was the worst leader I ever had was that she lacked human skills. First, my coworker’s daughter was in the hospital to give birth, and my coworker wanted to be there to support her daughter. She was not allowed to take off work that day because someone else was on vacation. My coworker missed the birth of her grandchild because our boss lacked the compassion to understand her situation. Next, talking to my boss was difficult. We would try to be friendly with my boss by starting conversations or by doing something nice for her. She was never interested in the conversation or our kind gestures. Finally, she would make rude comments about people behind their back. She said whatever popped into her head without giving it a second thought. She never picked up on the fact that it upset people and most of us really resented her for it. The lack of human skills made my boss a poor
