Perfectionism
On the one hand, according to INC.com, perfectionism is a welcome personal trait but, as a rule, only in individual work. If you are an aspiring leader, you must not be a perfectionist because other people will only rarely do what you want them to do; therefore, you must learn as best you can to work with imperfection.
Need always to be right
Often closely connected with perfectionism is the need always to be right. Most people think that a manager should not be wrong in any situation. In fact, it is far more important to be capable of admitting a mistake and learning from one's bad decisions.
Judging others
If you are always judging others, which is a very common bad habit of many people, you probably do so based on your own perspective and opinions about what is positive or important. But a leader's task is to find the good in other people, regardless of whether or not you agree with them, and always support them in what they are good at.
Inability to listen
Listening is extremely important both in one's personal life and in business. And it is even more important when it comes to leadership. Really listen to what other people are saying to you (either directly or between the lines), and be genuinely interested in what the people you are communicating with are thinking.
Saying what you think
As a leader you must be able to say the right things at the right time. But even more importantly, you must know when to say nothing. Learn to keep your opinions and feelings to yourself and learn to use what you say to achieve higher goals you have set, such as for example motivating your team.
