Dr. Rickardo Bodden joins us to shed light on the shadowy subject of toxic leadership and the havoc it wreaks on organizational morale. Our in-depth conversation with this accomplished leadership consultant and author takes us through the landscape of narcissistic behaviors, the silent crisis of toxic followership, and the devastating turnover rates that often cry out for intervention.
