The toxic triangle: Destructive leaders, susceptible followers, and conducive environments.
TLDR
In this article, a definition of destructive leadership is proposed, which emphasizes negative outcomes for organizations and individuals linked with and affected by them and outlines the toxic triangle: the characteristics of leaders, followers, and environmental contexts connected with destructive leadership.Abstract:
Destructive leadership entails the negative consequences that result from a confluence of destructive leaders, susceptible followers, and conducive environments. We review how destructive leadership has been discussed in the literature and note that it has not been clearly defined. Building on prior research, we develop a definition of destructive leadership that emphasizes negative outcomes for organizations and individuals linked with and affected by them. Then we outline the toxic triangle: the characteristics of leaders, followers, and environmental contexts connected with destructive leadership. We illustrate the dynamics of the framework using Fidel Castro's career as the dictator of Cuba.read more
