Companies should pay more attention to which leaders are roundly hated since they can be the biggest contributor to toxic culture. At my company, we had a CIO who was hated by every member of the IT team. Attrition rates as well as glass door reviews reflected it. Yet they kept him there for years.


People, even as infants, understand right and wrong.

Giving rank and privilege to people who don't deserve it will be noticed by workers.

The skilled workers will see the incompetence of impostors. And if the impostors are also unpleasant or dictatorial, workers will escape.


Yeah poor leaders are probably the most expensive cost for the company. The way leaders are recruited is just not effective at all.
