Nothing can be more destructive to a person's competence and skills than an abusive treatment by his superiors. As far as I'm concerned, the true test of leadership is dealing with a subordinate's shortcomings. It's not only about breaking your workers' spirits (and sometimes causing real psychological damage), but also about how to get the best out of your team, taking the abilities of each player into consideration.
