As is always the case when writing my blogs, I hope that this information inspires you to think more about not only what you do but why you do it. This meant from a young age I knew that leading, not just managing and working with people was something I would always pursue. I am sure it will be in the future also.

In a strange way I feel that this is the most important blog I have ever written. Employees called out the kind of management offenses that point to a striking lack of emotional intelligence among business leaders, including micromanaging, bullying, narcissism, indecisiveness, and more. Managing outputs or numbers has little value.
