Abstract: Toxic bosses generate a series of adverse reactions in corporate, non-profit organizations, government, educational and religious institutions. First, what do I mean by a “toxic” boss? I’m talking about the manager who: is quick to criticize and slow to praise, calls out individuals with the intent to humiliate instead of coach, takes credit for the team’s good work, but blames them when there is a failure, has high employee turnover, and fosters hostility within the team.
