Zenger and Folkman (2009) in the June edition of Harvard Business Review found from their study of top Fortune 500 leaders who were fired and hundreds of ineffective leaders that the two have similar flaws that cause them to fall from their throne. I guess these ten characteristics are nothing new, but they confirm previous findings which show these seemingly trivial and oft-overlooked characteristics do count:
1. Lack energy and enthusiasm
2. Accept their own mediocre performance
3. Lack clear vision and direction
4. Have poor judgment
5. Don’t collaborate
6. Don’t walk the talk
7. Resist new ideas
8. Don’t learn from mistakes
9. Lack interpersonal skills
10. Fail to develop others
