https://hbr.org/2018/03/the-most-common-type-of-incompetent-leader https://hbr.org/2018/03/the-most-common-type-of-incompetent-... ^ I have encountered the above most frequently before, aka "absentee leadership". Basically, managers who don't do anything at all. Then the above coupled w/ micro-managing, to the point of sitting behind the team and watching their screens (as evidenced by randomly incorrectly noting "you forgot an if statement there), logging bathroom breaks (hilarious because it happened in an IT org full of senior devs), solving petty personal problems through management power (thankfully not directed at me, but very obvious). Also, useless meetings. In combination with absentee leadership, PRETENDING to do something by having a 2hr meeting with the team, to give a 15 minute brief pretending to be on top of the situation.
