Ever notice how everyone in a workplace knows who the bad boss is—except the bad boss? If you’re supervising others, and you’re frustrated with their performance, it’s possible that the problem isn’t your team. You could be the not-so-great boss.

Disengaged employees cost the U.S. more than $500 billion in lost productivity annually, and most of that disengagement can be traced back to poor leadership and management. From large corporations to small marketing agencies, the impact of a bad boss can have catastrophic consequences to morale, revenue, and customer satisfaction.

This infographic from EOS Worldwide, the creators of the [Entrepreneurial Operating System®], explains the difference between a Great Boss and a Not-So-Great Boss so you can figure out where you fall on the spectrum and take steps to move away from the dark side.
