misguidance

The act of leading someone in the wrong direction or providing incorrect, misleading, or poor advice. / A state of being led astray or influenced by wrong beliefs or immoral principles.
Noun

This term carries a strong connotation of failure resulting from a breach of trust or a lack of competence in leadership. It suggests a trajectory that has been skewed, whether through intentional deception or negligent incompetence, leading to a suboptimal or disastrous outcome.

In a moral or spiritual sense, the word describes a deviation from an accepted path of righteousness. It implies a vulnerability in the subject who was led astray, contrasting with "misconduct," which focuses on the wrong actions of the individual rather than the faulty direction provided by another.
