This document discusses bad management practices and why they persist in organizations. It begins with defining bad management as actions that negatively impact employees, customers, or the organization as a whole, such as micromanagement, favoritism, lack of communication, and inadequate resources. Some reasons bad practices persist include managers lacking necessary skills, personal preferences for certain practices, and a lack of accountability. The impacts of bad management are severe, such as decreased job satisfaction, productivity, and morale for employees, and higher turnover and reduced profits for organizations. Strategies to address bad management include providing manager training, establishing clear expectations and accountability, and fostering a culture of feedback.
