Talented and Toxic
How to understand the insecure leader... and avoid becoming one.
You've seen it happen. We all have.
A leader with amazing talent and a great track record goes dark.
Even though everyone knows they're great at what they do, they drive everyone crazy by being the leader who just can't treat people the way they deserve to be treated. Before you know it, this leader is the one you avoid at work, the one you hope is never your supervisor… the one you dodge in the hallway and at the watercooler.
Someone told you they must be a narcissist. After all, they're abrasive, self-centered, not very self-aware, and a little too impressed with their own performance.
But Talented and Toxic takes a different perspective. Most toxic leaders aren't narcissists. They're suffering from insecurity. And here's a word of warning: insecurity is contagious.
Talented and Toxic will help you understand insecure leaders, and avoid becoming one yourself.
