We all have bad habits. Perhaps you procrastinate, gossip, or lack punctuality.  These negative behaviors don’t necessarily make you a terrible person—but as an manager they can reflect poorly upon you, and even cost you your job. Bad habits are: Bad body language habits, Inattentiveness, Poor grammar, Temper tantrums, Inefficiency, Speaking without thinking, Lack of manners, Social media addiction, Poor e-mail communication, Tardiness, Negativity, Lying and Procrastination.

What I had experienced for a bad or I must say failure managers are;

1 – Discourtesy or No respect for subordinates.

2 – Poor communication or never communicate in time, update late about the event or decision.

3 – Lying – changing the statements frequently this cause anxiety among the juniors.

I agree with nine of them, No9 - Pride, there is nothing wrong with being proud of yourself and the things you do.
