Toxic Executives: A Business Psychology Roundtable
Toxic leaders harm employees, the company and the entire economy. In a Youtube livestream, Birgit Schyns, Peter Bak, Georg Felser and Christian Fichter will address this topic on October 12, 2022.

Toxic leadership is widespread. Dishonest, unfair, unkind, ungrateful leaders lower employee satisfaction, motivation and performance. Stress, cynicism and exhaustion increase. Terms like "quiet quitting" are on everyone's lips. Unworthy managers take their worries home with them, and their private lives are also poisoned. (In one previous articles this topic has already been examined from a different perspective).
Leadership failure harms not only people, but also the company. It is therefore economically valuable and morally imperative to take a closer look: Why do toxic leaders persist so persistently? What are the consequences - for the employees, but also for the company? What can we do, as managers, as HR managers, as employees?
