In this chapter, we examine how toxic leaders not only rise—but thrive. Through the lens of high-profile scandals like WeWork and Uber, we unpack the systems that reward chaos over character, and ambition over accountability. Then, we turn inward.

JD reflects on a personal experience with a manager whose obsession with optics endangered both staff and patients—revealing what happens when organizations confuse silence for loyalty and performance for leadership.

This episode is about the wreckage left behind when no one says no—and the courage it takes to finally speak up.
