Introduction
The workplace is known as the second home of an employee. When the working environment is peaceful one becomes attached and finds it conducive to achieve their goals. A peaceful environment larger percent is solemnly created by the leaders and the smaller percentage by the junior employees after they adhere to the rules and regulations of the organization.
Traits of a toxic leadership
If a leader has a certain idea and keeps it to himself for his self-progress. A leader should be able to share the ideas he or she has with the junior staff to able to achieve the desired goal together (Winn 2019).
Reluctant to listen to the feedback given by the fellow employees and instead focuses on his or her ideas to be perfect. An institution or organization can only be able to achieve their goals if they measure their collective ideas and weigh the best out of it, whether the idea came from junior staff or senior staff.
Inconsistency of following the rules and guidelines in an organization by the leaders can kill the team spirit. A leader should be able to set a good example by following the set of rules and punishing those who break them without favor (Winn 2019).
Harassing employees by exercising their powers on them without consideration. A leader should not use their powers to misuse an employee, for instance, making them do everything that they should be doing with a threat of imposing their sack of they don’t.
A leader should not condole any sort of incompetence. Employees tend to get reluctant if their incompetence is condoled and protected, their attitude towards work depreciates with time resulting in a loss.
Conclusion
The organization that exercises the above toxic leadership traits is likely to fail. Healthy leadership like creating equity will make an organization grow more, motivate workers, make workers feel at home hence put more efforts to achieve their goal resulting in more growth.
