Dennis Aronov · Answer

@akanksha_hunts I totally see where you are coming from. How can you trust someone if they are unreliable? And without trust, the team won't be able to function.

Dennis Aronov · Answer

@vyacheslav_s Definitely!

Dennis Aronov · Answer

@leonm Do you think a boss can be unreliable and/or have a big ego without affecting the business outcome?

Dennis Aronov · Answer

@dzaitzow That is true!

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

Unreliable if we're choosing between the two. I think a big ego can be a good thing in certain sectors and depending on how merited that ego is. If they are the best sales person in the world with a big ego working on massive project - an ego might not be such a bad thing.

Akanksha Singh · Answer

Both traits can be challenging, but an unreliable boss can have more detrimental effects on a team and projects. A boss with a big ego might create a difficult work environment, but an unreliable boss can hinder progress, cause confusion, and erode trust within the team. Reliability is crucial for effective leadership and successful collaboration.
