What is a toxic manager?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every manager has a different approach to authority. He can give directions or guide his team in a certain direction. A toxic manager does not care about the people who work under him. There are different <strong>types of toxic managers<\/strong> , here are some examples:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-the-malicious-manager\"><\/span><b>1) The malicious manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This type of manager will highlight your mistakes, no matter how small. Its objective is to subtly show your incompetence by highlighting details with no real added value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-the-idealistic-manager\"><\/span><b>2) The idealistic manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This manager sets unrealistic and unattainable goals. In addition, your exchanges with him are rare given his unavailability. This can create frustration on your job.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-the-dominant-manager\"><\/span><b>3) The dominant manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This type of manager <strong>abuses hierarchical power<\/strong> . He will tend to criticize, even to humiliate in public. This person is self-centered and has no respect for his subordinates. She uses her power to manipulate others into getting what she wants. The toxic manager makes you feel inferior in his words, in his attitude, in his behavior and in his actions. This is a case of managers quite difficult to manage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-the-lead-manager\"><\/span><b>4) The lead manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This type of manager will tend to be more focused on results than on his team. Unfortunately, he does not adapt to the rhythm of his collaborators.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-the-extreme-manager\"><\/span><b>5) The extreme manager<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This manager has a rather motivating attitude at the start: very dynamic, very encouraging, very invested, very demanding, very in a hurry.
