The aim of this thesis is to study poor leadership from the perspective of students during their work experience. First, this thesis look into the importance of leadership within an organization. Secondly, this thesis is to understand and study the impact of bad leadership on students during their professional experience but also on their expectations of their future leaders. The primary data was collected through interviews with 10 students to find their perspective about bad leadership, particularly during fixed-term experiences (internships, temporary employment).
The conclusions of this research showed that the leader has an important role within an organization. His role is to ensure the smooth running of the organization by paying attention to and motivating its employees. Leaders can fail in their leadership because they are not able to handle external events, or because they have a lack of skills or poor personal characteristics. In addition, for the students, a bad leader is a leader who does not know how to recognize the value, communicate and listen to his employees. The consequences of bad leadership on students will impact their motivation during their mission but also their vision of the world of work. Finally, students expect a leader to be a collaborative, visionary or coach leadership style.
