No, teams perform better when their managers own up to their mistakes.

I have found managers that actually own up to there mistakes and dont try to pass them off to employees have the best results. To bad next to none of them do that.

If a managers employees are scared of the reaction to mistakes this mistakes will be hidden. If the manager is always angry nobody will care when the manager gets angry

I agree with this. An example of what I’d consider a bad manager is one who makes a mistake and when you point it out, they act like they can’t do anything wrong since they are in a higher position and they think they always know more than you.

"I never said that".

"Why you didn't told me before?"

"I don't care, fix the problem."

Nothing says a good leader like a leader that leads his team by example.

Although my direct manager does show this kind of humility, the brow nosed executive MBAs in the upper ranks of our company and useless and actively destructive.

Only stupid people get business degrees. Every business major in college was an idiot and every MBA I've worked with continued that pattern

There are many different majors within Business Administration. Including Accounting, Economics and Information Systems. An IS degree lands the same jobs that a computer science degree can. Accounting and Economic students are focused on mathematics.

Now, Marketing and Management are usually easier due to the lack of mathematics and computer literacy required.

To say only stupid people get business degrees is ignorant.

They meant relative. Relatively stupid compared to people in something like physics or engineering.

Someone who can admit they were wrong is someone who I would have a lot of respect for. It's such an important trait that allows us to grow, learn and work better with others.

Yeah but do they get ahead on the corporate ladder? That's what the ones who don't care about

False, I don’t believe them that managers like that exist

Headline basically reads 'Humble people show more humility, which sometimes improves team performance and sometimes, does not'.

Appointing a balloon as CEO can improve team performance, in the right circumstances.

Learn from my mistakes? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I like my managers to hold on to their bad decisions like a leg-hold trap! To cling to their bad judgment like a pit bull biting the mailman. Management needs to fully commit to complete incompetence, and not let anyone question their authority!

In my experience, management and learning rarely go hand in hand.

It's surprising that there even needed to be a study for this.
