Poor leadership can be defined as an inability or unwillingness to relinquish control and empower team members. A leader who is too focused on maintaining control can block creativity and innovation and create a negative work environment in the business.

Great leaders, however, understand the importance of trusting and relying on their teams. They empower their team members to take ownership of their work, fostering a sense of teamwork and collaboration. This type of leadership can lead to a higher level of job satisfaction and ultimately contribute to the success of the company’s business.

Trust is a crucial element in any team or organization, and it is important for leaders to establish and maintain trust in order to build and maintain a great company. By empowering their team members and fostering a culture of trust, leaders can create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. This, in turn, can lead to better performance of employees, greater job satisfaction, and ultimately, a more successful company.

In addition, it is essential for leaders to prioritize DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in the workplace. This means creating an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued regardless of their background, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. This can be achieved through various means such as by creating a diverse workforce, providing training and education on unconscious bias, and fostering an inclusive culture.

Workplace management is also important for leaders to consider. This means ensuring that the workplace is safe, healthy, and productive for all employees. This can be achieved by providing the necessary resources and tools, promoting clear communication and collaboration, and fostering a positive work-life balance. 

By prioritizing DEI and workplace management, leaders can create a more inclusive, equitable, and productive work environment.

In conclusion, poor leadership is characterized by an inability or unwillingness to relinquish control and empower team members, while great leaders understand the importance of trusting and relying on their team to achieve their goals. A leader who trusts their team empowers them to take ownership of their work and prioritizes DEI and workplace management is more likely to foster a sense of teamwork and collaboration, which can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction and ultimately contribute to the success of the company.
