Updated: Oct 11, 2023

Are you tired of being a successful and effective leader?


Do you want to completely sabotage your leadership and ensure your team's failure?


Then look no further!


Here are 11 surefire ways to completely destroy your leadership and guarantee that your team will be a complete disaster.


  1. Refuse to listen to your team members. After all, you're the boss, so you know everything there is to know, right? Why bother listening to your team members when you can just make all of the decisions on your own?

  2. Micromanage every aspect of your team's work. After all, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Don't trust your team members to do their jobs, and make sure to constantly check in on them and tell them exactly what to do.

  3. Ignore feedback and criticism. Who cares what your team members have to say? They're just a bunch of underlings, and their opinions don't matter. When they offer constructive feedback or criticism, just brush it off and continue on with your own way of doing things.

  4. Play favorites. Some team members are just better than others, right? Make sure to show your favoritism by giving the best assignments and opportunities to your favorite team members, and ignore the rest.

  5. Be inconsistent. One day, you want your team to do things one way, and the next day, you want them to do things completely differently. Don't provide any clear direction or guidance, and make sure to keep your team guessing about what you want from them.

  6. Take all of the credit. When your team achieves success, make sure to take all of the credit for yourself. After all, it was your brilliant leadership that made it all happen, right? Ignore the contributions of your team members and take all of the glory for yourself.

  7. Be inflexible. Don't be open to new ideas or ways of doing things. Stick to the same old methods and strategies, even if they're not working. After all, change is scary, and it's better to stick with what you know, even if it's not effective.

  8. Be overly critical. Nothing motivates a team like constant criticism and negativity. Make sure to point out every mistake and flaw, and never provide any constructive feedback or support.

  9. Be unpredictable. Keep your team on their toes by being completely unpredictable in your behavior and decision-making. One day, you'll be happy and supportive, and the next day, you'll be angry and dismissive. Keep your team guessing and never let them get comfortable.

  10. Be dishonest. Don't be transparent and honest with your team. Keep them in the dark about important information and decisions, and make sure to be evasive and misleading when they ask questions.

  11. Be a poor role model. After all, if you're not setting a good example, how can you expect your team to follow your lead? Make sure to demonstrate all of the worst qualities of a leader, and your team will be sure to follow in your footsteps.


So there you have it, 11 surefire ways to completely sabotage your leadership and ensure that your team is a complete disaster. Happy sabotaging!
