10 Signs of An Insecure Boss

Insecure boss signs — Leadership is not a foreign concept. There are managers who focus on technique, productivity, and micro-managing. Some signs are clear that he lacks the confidence and abilities to run a successful company. There are many reasons why they are insecure.

Here are 10 signs you can see:

1. You did something right and he never praises you. He thinks that praising you makes him weaker.

2. He fails to take accountability for his actions and blames his staff for the mistake he made.

3. There is a need for immediate deadlines for topics that are informal. Negotiating for the deadline, he asks for the hard due date which is out-of-the-way.

4. He agrees to your date for vacation and ignores it at the last minute. The worst case scenario is he does not remember the discussion about it at all.

5. He uses email a lot. He corresponds with you in writing about your work performance, projects, due dates and more. Never care to discuss face to face or talk about it.

6. He finds it hard to interact with go-getters. Hangs out with employees who are not a direct threat to him. Does not develop working relationships with top employees who are doing well in their job.

7. He over-delegates which is the lack of competence. He needs to have others do his work. If an employee fails this task, he blames him for failing to meet the expectations. If he done a good job, he will take full credit for the success.

8. He is afraid to make mistakes. He prefers to report facts in comparison to current trends and forecasts.

9. He loves meetings and uses it to his advantage to look busy.

10. He is more focused on his appearance, not his leadership skills.
