On Toxic Leadership

  • Organizational Dynamics of Toxic Leading: Obstacles and Key Concepts
    Daniel A. Connelly

    Danielle M. Stringer, Jeff H. Hurlbert, Michael L. Boswell, and Steven Barfoot

  • Organizational Toxicity: Inner Circles of Harmful Leadership
    Fil Arenas

  • The ADOO Loop: A Decision-Breaking Cycle of Toxic Followership
    Matthew C. Wunderlich

    Employing an iterative pattern to avoid, deviate, obstruct, and observe (ADOO), toxic followers undermine leaders and defeat missions. Mitigating toxic followership can help leaders rebuild team dynamics, restore decision-making functionality, and galvanize the national security enterprise.

    Amber B. Batura and Sean P. Klimek
