Drawing upon her extensive experience and research in various types of organizations - business, political, even religious organizations - Dr. Whicker looks closely at three distinct types of leaders - trustworthy leaders, transitional leaders, and those she identifies as purely toxic. In a clear and readable style she describes the key characteristics of each type of leader, while focusing on the absentee leaders, the busybodies, controllers, enforcers, streetfighters, and the bullies, all of whom are dangerous to their organizations and are directly responsible in many cases for an organization's decline. Whicker makes clear, however, that there are ways to protect oneself from such leaders, and shows exactly what these strategies are. A compelling, anecdotal, authoritative analysis for anyone in any organization who has ever wondered "why did the boss do that - and why to me?".
