share an example of when you have witnessed a leader at your work that displayed non-ethical behavior and how he or she was seen as a leader within the company. Discuss what you learned from the leader

During my time in the military, I was fortunate to work with great leaders who influenced my leadership style a great deal, and toxic leaders, who also had an impact on my leadership style. Toxic leaders taught me all the wrong things that I needed to avoid; One might say they also had a positive impacted.

The textbook state, "toxic leaders are characterized by destructive behaviors such as leaving their followers worse off than they found them, violating the basic human rights of others, and playing to followers' basest fears." Northouse. (2018)). There was one such leader that had undoubtedly impacted my life and help made me the leader that I am today. This leader had his favorites personnel that he would always look for, and those that were not would be on his target list. He was more of a do as I say, not what I do leader. He prides himself on being a leader of the past and not the future. He would always tell his soldiers and peers that the military made a great mistake when they allowed females to be in the Field Artillery. Destructive leadership is also negatively related to followers' attitudes toward their jobs and their organization. Northouse. (2018). He had his followers, those that would answer to the beck and call, also who he refers to as his yes men. Whenever he has criticized the organization, his followers would back him on it even if they did not have the same belief as he did about it.

In the time for promotion, he would recommend individuals that would benefit his needs. Individuals that he would recommend would not have to leadership ability, qualities, or the time spent in their current position, but if they answer to his orders and would be loyal to just him, they would be the ones to move on to the next rank. He was a very intellectual leader, one who knew how to talk his way in and out of situations. He was very influential on those that were weak and timid, such as the senior leadership that was above his pay grade.

As was stated in the above paragraph, he had a positive impact on my leadership style. I learned never to be too passionate about power, recognition, and prestige. If I become too passionate about these things, then something has gone wrong in my leadership style. I no longer can provide the leadership or guidance that the soldiers or my organization required. Also, I learned never to have favorites; everything in an organization must be merit-based. Rewards and even punishments must be equal to the individual potential and performance. If a leader plays favorites, then he is compromising the long-term health of the organization.
