Becoming a punching bag isn’t fun for anyone. And while narcissistic and toxic leaders are proficient at surrounding themselves with “yes men”, they are equally as adept at bullying others. The prevalence of workplace bullying, said leadership architect Dr Zondre Keevy, is significant. Toxic, narcissistic leaders star in almost all sectors of business. Dark or toxic leaders bully subordinates. “There is an intentional element to toxic leadership.
“This makes a person more pliable, easier to mould in the manipulator’s image. That is how this kind of leader gets their power, because they have a legion of patsies on call, a herd of supporters.” It showed that toxic leadership can negatively impact organisational creativity by as much as 30%, a decline of analytical problem solving by twenty percent.Managers spend up to 13% of their time cleaning up the shrapnel left behind by toxic individuals.
People are often fearful of their jobs and do not speak up. Confronting a toxic leader is usually perceived as a career-limiting move, said Orpen-Lyall, so people often keep quiet. “More subtle toxic behaviours are information hoarders, workaholics, the value agnostic individuals, perfectionists and gaslighters.”He added: “It is a subtle process but one that can be very damaging to an individual many years after the fact and damage a company in many ways.
“Make sure that you have evidence that is corroborated and that you can use in those situations. That is undisputable.”It’s impossible to make a leopard change its spots. Keevy said a toxic leader cannot be forced to have good intentions.
