Excessive anger

When you search for "bad boss," over half of the results will show supervisors screaming at employees, typically with a megaphone. A harsh manager, in the cartoonish stereotype, is always in a bad mood, waiting for an occasion to yell at staff, usually for a problem that is not the employee's fault.

The amount of strain on the manager is frequently the source of these eruptions. Nevertheless, leaders should avoid venting their frustrations on their personnel. Professionalism includes emotional moderation. Temper tantrums set a negative example for the team in terms of dispute resolution. An angry boss often causes significant levels of stress and dread among staff. Nobody wants to be yelled at at work or to walk on eggshells for fear of upsetting the boss. Furthermore, when the boss erupts, the delivery overshadows the message. Workers will focus on the clash rather than the message.

How to fix it: Learn to pause before reacting. Practice meditation, breathing exercises, and other anger management techniques. Plan an escape route in case you need to cool down before responding. If the anger persists, then consider seeking professional help.
