This e-book explores the darker, troubled side of organizations. It is an investigation that spans individual leaders, teams, and organizational systems with the common unifying principles of toxicity and dysfunction. Left undetected, unattended or misdiagnosed, simple interpersonal or team conflict may escalate and morph into a dysfunctional system. Alternately, misguided organizational policies, abrupt restructurings, layoffs and downsizings become inseparable from anxiety, burnout and workplace terrorism. In some instances toxicity originates at the top as leaders suffering from depression, adult ADHD or borderline personality disorder impact their division or company – indicating the fine line between individual and organizational pathology.Healthy, functional and productive leadership clearly occupies a primary role in toxicity detection. Conversely, toxic leaders are at the nexus of the dysfunctional organization.
