Mismanagement refers to the ineffective or careless handling of resources, tasks, or people within an organization. This can lead to poor decision-making, wasted resources, and a decline in productivity. Common examples include failing to allocate budgets properly or not providing adequate training for employees. When mismanagement occurs, it can result in low employee morale and high turnover rates. Additionally, it may damage the reputation of the organization, affecting relationships with clients and stakeholders. Addressing mismanagement often requires a thorough evaluation of processes and a commitment to improving leadership practices.
