Problems with management

How do you recognize bad management?

I think the following signs indicate such:

• Managers scheduling meetings and then forgetting to turn up to them
• Everything with hard deadlines done at the absolute last minute, to a low standard
• Much work wasted on irrelevant activity
• Team morale dropping to unplumbed depths
• Attempting to blame supervisors for the team's state

In my opinion, one of the characteristics of a good leader is that they take responsibility for their team.
