I know there is a new HRB article on this topic. I have not seen the full article and it might provide a clearer articulation of their conclusions. David JR,

I say this because in my personal observations from 30 years in military leadership and later Human Resources, one of the greatest flaws in poor leaders/managers is the lack of effective and continuous communication (down/sideways/up). I believe this would be amongst the top two as it pertains to employee engagement. But it isn't even one of the top 10??? Am I wrong here?

I've never seen the "lack of energy and enthusiasm" tag come out so high.That and #2 on the list say to me that poor leaders are not at all grounded in their own passion, and it's no surprise, then, that the article also reports how their self-perceptions don't match others' perceptions of them. Little self-knowledge. Why on earth would anyone want to work with/for such an individual? I'd disengage right away! David, this is quite a list.
