9 10 Signs You Might Be a Horse’s Ass:
- You tell your people that you trust them. Then you micro-manage and involve yourself in all the details of their work.
- You tell your people to get results and when they give you valid reasons (not excuses) for what their bumping up against, you say, "not my problem …figure it out!"
- You make changes and cuts before you know or understand the impact on the business because you think cutting costs will solve your problems.
- You nod but don’t listen to others when they share their thoughts because you believe your knowledge and experience is so much greater.
- You’ve disciplined others for something you do.
- You take any form of feedback as a personal attack, and so you retaliate either outwardly or passive-aggressively.
- When your team doesn’t hit their targets, you blame them and never look at what you might be doing that contributes to the lack of success.
- When your team hits the target, you feel good about yourself. When they miss, you can't imagine what role you played in failure.
- Your motto or your company motto is that your people are your greatest asset. Your actions say the exact opposite.
- You’ve heard or you know deep down inside that you and your behaviors need to change. Yet, you continue doing the same thing regardless of whether it has a negative impact on others?
- You can't identify how damaging your actions/decisions/edicts are to others.
