Kimberly Benoit’s book “We’ve All Done It” asks a provocative and uncomfortable question. Are you a toxic #leader? In this lively conversation, Jodah and Dr. Dan investigate the all too common experience of #toxicleadership with Kimberly - even looking into the mirror to see if we are #toxic. They discuss how #toxicleaders show up in our lives in many forms, how to assess if you're bringing toxicity to your work as a #leader, and how to address toxic leadership behaviors. They also question the toxicity of world leaders such as #PeteButtigeg, #DonaldTrump, and #Jimmy Carter. Finally, Kimberly shares some advice on the challenges of #writing about #leadership. A lively and humorous episode perfect for #executives and #middlemanagers interested in improving their #leadershipskills.
