Bad leadership is bad leadership. It’s usually easy to recognize.
It’s easier, however, to hide bad leadership in an organization, which isn’t growing. (I wrote recently that it’s easy to keep an organization small. Read that post HERE.)
The larger an organization becomes and the more growth, which occurs, the more bad leadership becomes apparent.
As an organization grows:
