Ranting here b/c I can't post this on facebook due to being friends with work people there.

There are seriously few things that will make me lose respect for a leader or manager faster than watching them use their position as a platform to push their personal pet peeves on the people they lead just because "that's how they like it".

Now, I'm not talking about pushing a personal opinion that happens to be based on facts, logic & reasoning, or experience. I'm talking about purely emotional driven decision making - it makes them feel better to have things a certain way and to hell with any dissenting opinions, data, or facts to the contrary. Outside of an urgent life-threatening or time-sensitive situation, the moment you have to fall back on "because I'm the boss" is the moment you're no longer worthy of the title.

Ok, end rant.
