Toxic Leadership
Introduction
Toxic leaders are undeniably a
burden to any team but often seen within many organizations. They need to be dealt
with but very carefully. Its very important to learn the background and work
along with getting them back on track and carefully supervises and guide them over
a period.
According to Balasundaram, (2020)
Toxic leadership is a set of self-centered attitudes, motivations, and
behaviors that harm subordinates, the organization, and the environment. It also the fact that the success of the
mission of such leadership is ineffective, concern for his or her subordinates
as well as the organization. This will have extremely adverse consequences.
According to Balasundaram, (2020)
“Ulmer Jr. (2012) has defined toxic as poisonous, not far from destructive or
harmful. Walton (2007) defined Toxic leadership as behaviour which is
exploitive, abusive, destructive, psychological and perhaps legalistically
corrupt and poisonous. Reed (2004) defined Toxic Leadership as an apparent lack
of concern for the well-being of subordinates. It is a personality or
interpersonal technique that negatively affects organizational climate”.
