ABSTRACT

It is commonly known that bad management produces dysfunctional organization, groups, and teams. Dysfunctional organization typically has a negative impact on workers rendering them unwilling or unable to trust. Therefore, it is paramount for leaders to be deliberate in the selection and training of new managers. Oftentimes new managers are selected because of what is referred to as the “just like me syndrome.” Managers who are only willing to surround themselves with people who look, think, and act like themselves are hindering and stifling the capability of the organization. They are not viewing the big picture and are most likely operating in survival mode with no long-term vision.
