MYTH 1: Nothing can be gained from working for a bad leader.
MYTH 2: When an employee leaves you, it is a sign of failure and a poor reflection on your retention ability.
MYTH 3: In a competitive workplace, peers who are ranked against each other need to compete aggressively for the win and top ranking.
MYTH 4: When faced with a difficult situation or a crisis, a leader must be firm and resolute in speech and appearance, showing no emotion and expressing no sympathy.
MYTH 5: Sometimes, you must raise your voice as a leader to get other people’s attention.
