S5E2: Is Toxicity Terminal?

Today's topic asks whether toxic leadership is terminal. The answer is no, toxic leadership can be addressed successfully and replaced with transformational policies and practices. Dr. Shaunta refers to Alma Ortega's six scenarios that are not toxic leadership from Ortega's book Academic Libraries and Toxic Leadership (2017). These scenarios inspire leaders to think more broadly about defining toxic leadership beyond opinions and experiences.

Dynamic leaders with high and reasonable expectations
Self-starters who value discipline and set realistic deadlines
Absences for good reasons, such as overlapping duties on committees
Leaders who ask for transparency when teams do not fulfill responsibilities
Personality clashes
Incompetence
