Description:
Toxic leaders have dark personality traits that drive them to be the 'top-dog'. They use bullying and harassment as a strategy to manipulate people and circumstances to keep their top-dog position. Creating chaotic and dysfunctional environments enables them to control you.
Well, that's the premise at least.
In societies based on a hierarchal system, there is always a leader at the top, calling the shots, whether you like it or not. So how does the top-dog keep their position and everyone else in line?
This book sets out a methodical and logical explanation of each of more than 76 different tactics used by toxic leaders that form a pattern of bullying. Translating complicated and complex social and psychological concepts into plain English, this book uses real life scenarios to explain how toxic leaders manipulate people and circumstances to maintain control over them.
Susan Broomhall is a social scientist with a major in psychology specialising in behavioural analysis and research. With over 30 years practical in-field experience, she has used her own experiences of being a target of bullying to bring to light her knowledge of the toxic leadership stronghold.
Toxic leaders are a problem but people are good problem solvers. Sometimes, all we need is a little more understanding of the problem that needs to be solved.
