Great post! Many of the points resonate with my own experience with ineffective leadership. As for the others, I've been fortunately enough to avoid them. Not giving credit where it's due (or worse yet -- taking it for themselves) is another toxic leadership trait I've seen that builds resentment, and depletes morale, leading to negative results.
Hey Andy! I'm glad you've had the fortune to have avoided some of these toxic behaviors. You make a good point about taking credit for someone else's work, though—that would definitely be a problematic and demoralizing behavior in leadership. Thankfully, that's one that I've mostly avoided so far, but equally valid.
