The Anti-Stephen Covey Guide to Managing Your Team:
- More interested in requesting numerous reports on ongoing projects than actually completing a project. This habit is often exhibited by avid Excel spreadsheet enthusiasts. Categorizing tables by column headings is one of their most private, happiest endeavors.
- Blame is always only one employee away. Highly ineffective managers do a great job of dodging bullets by placing blame on their subordinate employee or vendor. It’s a difficult habit to master, but once you’re past the guilt and self-loathing that comes with not owning your own faults, you’ll pick it up in no time.
