A bad boss would be one who fails in at least one of these areas, but to be immortalized as one of the worst bosses, you’ve got to create an environment so toxic that none of these elements are present or they are overshadowed by the deficiencies to such an extent that employees are unable to approach their potential or even function.

In all cases, the answers will enrich you and strengthen your own desire to be all that you can be and accomplish all that you have set as a goal.
