Niniejsza praca zawiera przegląd różnych typów toksycznych liderów w  organizacjach – od gnębicieli po narcyzów. Toksyczni liderzy są bolesnym, jednak powszechnym elementem rzeczywistości w  wielu organizacjach. Ich destrukcyjne zachowania i  dysfunkcyjne cechy osobowości często trwale szkodzą osobom, którymi kierują. Gdy podejmują decyzje, kierują się zazwyczaj egoistycznymi pobudkami, co prowadzi do tego, że sytuacja pracowników się pogarsza zamiast poprawiać. Dobrych menedżerów od przeciętnych odróżnia zdolność do skutecznego zarządzania dysfunkcyjnymi liderami w  miejscu pracy. Nawet jeśli niektóre organizacje mogą promować (lub po prostu tolerować) toksycznych liderów z  przyczyn ekonomicznych lub politycznych, często lekceważy się ich długoterminowy wpływ na misję i  reputację przedsiębiorstwa. Autor proponuje pewne skuteczne strategie, które pozwalają znaleźć toksycznych liderów i  toksyczne miejsca pracy, zająć się nimi i  wywołać zmiany.

This study reviews different typologies of toxic leaders in organizations-from bullies to narcissistic leaders. Unfortunately, toxic leaders are a painful but common reality in many organizations. Their destructive behaviors and dysfunctional personal characteristics often generate enduring poisonous effects on those they lead. They are identified by selfish outcomes in their decision-making and how they leave subordinates worse off than when they began. What distinguishes excellent from average managers is their ability to effectively manage dysfunctional leaders in the workplace. Even though some organizations may promote or simply tolerate toxic leaders for economic or political reasons, the long-term impact on the company's mission and reputation is often underestimated. The author suggests some effective coping strategies to identify, address, and transform toxic leaders and workplaces.
