Strong leaders say things like “Great job!” and “Please” and “Thank you.”
They say things that healthy people with normal self-esteem say every day.
Cowardly managers can’t say “Thanks” or “You blew me away with that presentation today.”
It’s impossible for them to choke the words out, because in a cowardly manager’s twisted world, when an employee looks good the manager looks bad.
Fearful managers can’t share credit, but they know how to ladle on the blame!
That’s the most obvious characteristic of a fearful weenietized manager. They spread bad news as fast as they can. They are super conductors for blame and punishment!
Good news only travels up. They’ll be happy to share your triumphs with the higher-ups as long as they can claim credit for your work.
