摘要

在40多年的职场生涯中,我目睹了创造力和沟通能力因有毒的领导而被扼杀。虽然我的经历是在军队,我的研究是在军队,但我的目标是更好地理解有毒的领导,以告知适用于商业和军事环境的潜在缓解技术。有毒的领导者往往在不考虑可行的替代结论的情况下匆忙得出结论。他们倾向于从他们所知道的事实中编织出一个负面的故事,而不是欣赏他们不知道的信息或事实。我的研究表明,有毒领导之所以存在,是因为高层领导,也就是那些在有毒领导之上的领导人,无意或有意地允许它存在。此外,无毒的领导者会因为他们的不作为或不能及时做出决定而创造出有毒的环境。这种不作为让问题不断发展,然后恶化,最终创造出一个有毒的环境。此外,无毒的领导者可能会因为不与不称职的下属打交道而创造出有毒的环境,比如高级领导者会允许有毒的领导者继续做出有毒的行为。不称职的下属会产生问题,由于他们的技术缺陷或低情商,这些问题可能会导致一个有毒的环境。最有效的缓解方法是面对并报告有毒的领导行为。

Toxic Leadership in the Military
In over 40 years in the workplace, I have witnessed creativity and communication stifled because of toxic leadership. Though my experience was in the military and my research was with the military, my goal is to better understand toxic leadership to inform potential mitigation techniques that are applicable to both business and military environments. Toxic leaders tend to draw conclusions hastily without thinking about viable alternative conclusions. They tend to weave a negative story out of the facts known to them and not appreciate that there is information or facts they do not know. My research suggests toxic leadership exists because senior leaders, those leaders above the toxic leader, allow it to exist, either unwittingly or knowingly. Furthermore, non-toxic leaders can create toxic environments by their inaction or inability to make timely decisions. That inaction allows problems to develop, then fester and ultimately, creates a toxic environment. Also, non-toxic leaders can create toxic environments by not dealing with incompetent subordinates, like the senior leader who allows a toxic leader to continue to act out toxic behaviors. Incompetent subordinates generate problems that can contribute to a toxic environment due to their technical shortcomings or low EQ (emotional quotient). The most effective mitigation is confronting and reporting toxic leader behaviors when they occur.
