LRI’s president Phillip Wilson was quoted in the article “Banish the bane of a bad boss” by Christopher Cornell. In the article he cites a couple of the tests Phil offers to tell whether you’re a bad boss. Here is what he says:

Phillip Wilson, president of the Broken Arrow, Okla.-based Labor Relations Institute and author of “The Next 52 Weeks: One Year to Transform Your Workplace” has some tests to find out if you’re a bad boss. “Test No. 1: You constantly feel like you are “out of the loop” and it makes you angry. This is evidence that you probably shoot the messenger (you start running out of messengers after a while…).” Another test: “You fire a lot of people. This is evidence that you are either a terrible judge of talent or a terrible leader. Probably both. That’s not to say that every employee is perfect or that you should never fire someone, but if you have to do it very often, consider that you are probably the problem, not the employees.”
