A toxic leader is a person who has responsibility over a group of people or an organisation, and who abuses the leader--follower relationship by leaving the group or organisation in a worse-off condition than when s/he first found them. The phrase was coined by Marcia Whicker in 1996 and is linked with a number of dysfunctional leadership styles. Other names include the little Hitler, manager from hell, The Toxic Boss and boss from hell. Their leadership style is both self-destructive and ultimately corporately harmful as they subvert and destroy organisational structures.
