The Manpower Group asked thousands of workers to name the traits that lead to disrespect and outright dislike for their bosses, and in the spirit of David Letterman's Top 10 lists, here are Manpower's Top 10 Traits of Bad Bosses, in reverse order. You don't recognize yourself, do you?
10. Complicated communication.
9. No employee input into decisions.
8. No feedback or delayed feedback, especially for good work.
7. Too few one-on-one meetings.
6. No flexibility.
5. Lots of talk and little listening.
4. Uncaring supervisors.
3. Not playing to strengths.
2. Not showing employees how they'll benefit personally.
And the worst trait, according to the poll, is …
1. Failure to show dignity and respect. Treat people as if they're machines, and you'll end up with robots.
