In One Drop of Poison, Sean Lemson explores what he calls the ten toxic leadership archetypes: The Chess Master The Peacock The Ladder Climber The Micromanager The Invertebrate The Drill Sargeant The Data Freak The Bottom Liner The Squirrel The Graveyard Whistler He captures the toxicity of each of these styles of leadership, offers examples of what a healthy mindset about leadership looks like, and shows you how to make that actionable so you can avoid being the toxic Leader or teammate in Your organization.
If having talented employees who innovate is important to Your business, you can\'t afford to allow a single Drop of poison into Your organization-never mind accidentally be one.
A recent study found that toxic cultures are ten times more likely to predict employee departure than compensation.
And if that Drop of poison is high enough in the organization, it will spread until the whole culture is toxic.
They are one Drop of poison that\'s destroying trust, engagement, and performance.
Most toxic leaders don\'t wake up every morning thinking, I wonder how I can destroy my teams today! Most are doing what makes sense to them without realizing that it\'s toxic.
They destroy their companies from the inside out through loss of talent, low employee morale and engagement, and the erosion of trust-leading to lower performing teams and companies that struggle or fail to innovate.
These leaders cost companies a significant amount of money that no financial reporting accounts for.
Lemson explores how companies poison their own success by hiring or promoting people with counterproductive mindsets into leadership positions.
In One Drop of Poison, executive and team performance coach Sean Lemson dives deeply into why this is so common in organizations today.
Now you dread work and are thinking about doing the same.
Sadly, leaders you admired began leaving to explore other opportunities.
Just when you thought it couldn\'t get worse, Your new Leader brought in cronies from their previous job to fill key leadership positions.
The outspoken high performers began leaving the Company in droves and you could feel the culture becoming toxic underneath Your feet.
It was no longer safe to say what was on Your mind and office politics became a second job, leaving you exhausted at the end of the day.
A new Leader was brought in from the outside and things began shifting immediately.
Then it happened. Your coworkers. Your boss...
You loved Your job..
