The article discusses the inherent contradiction in leadership within democratic systems and corporate environments, where the very traits needed for leadership—confidence and self-assuredness—can lead to toxic behaviors. Security leaders and executive coaches provide insights on how to maintain humility and promote organizational wellbeing. Joe Rector shares his approach of practicing the golden rule, emphasizing staff development, recognition, and assigning meaningful tasks to avoid the pitfalls of arrogance and foster a motivated team.
"We have all seen toxic leaders... They abuse their authority and treat their subordinates badly. It doesn't mean they don't get the mission done, but at a cost of low morale."
"I try to prepare them for the next leadership level... making sure they have the right training and give them assignments that prepare them for the future."
