What is a bad steward?

A bad steward is someone who mismanages or neglects their responsibilities toward resources, people, or the environment. This can manifest in wasteful practices, lack of accountability, or failure to consider the long-term impacts of their actions. Such behavior often leads to negative consequences, including environmental degradation, financial loss, and diminished trust within a community or organization. Effective stewardship requires care, foresight, and a commitment to sustainability.
