Understanding and Managing Toxic Leadership

Managing a toxic leader requires paying attention to their character, not just their technical competence. Leaders often get promoted based on their skills, but true leadership demands consistent behavior and integrity, both in public and private settings. It’s essential to ask whether someone’s behavior stems from a lack of self-awareness rather than malicious intent. By giving constructive feedback, one can help illuminate any inconsistencies in a leader’s behavior, ultimately fostering a better work environment.
