| description | <p>While ‘bad’ leaders can include incompetent, occasionally self-indulgent, and lazy leaders, an important special category of leader has long been established in the literature for those whose egotism and ill-will toward others have corrupted ‘good’ leadership norms. Such behavior is generally called toxic. This essay further builds on that analysis by examining leaders who are not simply occasionally toxic, but whose whole agenda is to fan division, hatred, and malignant collective delusion. The article first examines good leadership using servant and resilient leadership theory. Then it provides examples of varying degrees of toxicity based on eight elements in which good leadership is perverted. Finally, the article looks at President Donald Trump as an example of ruthless rapaciousness and whose tenacity (resilience) enables him to maximize his toxicity over time – vampire leadership.</p> |
