Good management is difficult to define. However, identifying toxic management is much easier. W. Edwards Deming, the great quality innovator, said that 85% of an organization’s problems are management derived. Bad management is often a personal issue as well. When you hear of people complaining about their jobs, some supervisor or manager pops up into the conversation.
When you look at your life and missed opportunities, a supervisory individual may have caused your dissatisfaction. This person stifled your ideas, hindered advancement, didn’t mentor you, or was overly negative. Whatever the reason, this person hindered your potential and forever clouded your view of management. And, this person led you to a Brand U life.
