Addicted to leadership: From crisis to recovery
Hartley, Lucie; Bolden, Richard
Abstract
This chapter looks at why we default towards toxic types of leadership and compares this behaviour to the drivers behind drug and alcohol addiction. Changing our mental models of leadership, the authors argue, is akin to the process of recovery. They describe how the behaviours of toxic leaders create dependence on the part of followers and show how techniques of recovery can be used to reduce that dependence and show the limitations of ‘heroic’ leadership. Toxic leadership is bad for us in many ways, not least for our mental health.
