Toxic leadership only brings harm to the company itself


It makes no sense to leave the helm of the ship in the hands of those who don’t know how to navigate. The company loses




Once upon a time there was a company that, at first glance, seemed to be a place of prosperity and growth. But behind the glittering facade was a manager who cast his shadow on all the employees. The team constantly felt the negative effects of this management, which suffocated and undermined the trust of all employees in that environment.

At the center of this narrative is someone who abuses power and manipulates those he is supposed to lead and inspire. His behavior gradually erodes the work environment. He feeds on the insecurity of others, draining their potential and undermining any sense of worth.

Toxic leadership reveals itself in a variety of destructive behaviors. The toxic leader can be authoritarian, imposing his will without taking into account the opinions of others.

In this suffocating atmosphere, employees begin to suffer. Willpower disappears, creativity is silenced, and emotional well-being is in chaos. Those who once had dreams and aspirations now feel discouraged and trapped.

Importantly, this has a direct impact on people’s productivity and happiness, and instead of being a place of great results, it becomes a hotbed of burnout, depression and anxiety.

There is a latent need for understanding, awareness and analysis of these scenarios so that we understand once and for all how businesses are more sustainable when there is a sense of purpose and human appreciation.

This fairy tale can have a happy ending by aligning values ​​and selecting professionals truly capable of dealing with people and understanding their needs.

Keeping bad professionals in management positions is like leaving the helm of the ship in the hands of those who don’t know how to navigate, compromising the direction and success of the company.
