One of the worst traits to have is being a micromanager. Constantly watching what your employees are doing and managing them on even the smallest tasks shows you don't trust them to do good work and it also bites into your time as well. Another terrible trait is being overly critical. It's important to provide feedback and constructive criticism to your employees in order for them to learn and grow, but that means being a coach and not a critic.
