Toxic Leadership .... Submitted to NBEA

A noted rule of thumb suggests that toxic leaders leave their followers and others who come within their sphere of influence worse off than they found them either on a personal and/or professional basis.

Aggressive narcissists tend use both micromanagement, over management and management by fear to keep a grip of their authority in the organizational group. 

Toxic leaders work to promote themselves and their top-heavy cronies at the expense of their subordinates.

A toxic leader can be both hypocritical and hypercritical of others, seeking the illusion of moral virtue to hide their own vices.

"Plainly, she is strong-willed and motivated. However, her megalomania-like personality creates at least as many problems as she allegedly solves. She has been terminated, let go, or contract-not-renewed for most, if not all, of her previous superintendent posts." - Gerald F. Chase

Those toxins have infiltrated into all our schools and no one is immune. The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife. It is not a healthy work environment. Fear and anxiety are ever-present.
