How can I identify toxic leadership in my workplace?

Toxic leadership often includes traits like micromanagement, lack of empathy, and poor communication. Are you experiencing any specific behaviors?

Yes, my manager often belittles team members and takes credit for their work.

That sounds concerning. Belittling behavior and taking credit are clear signs of toxic leadership. Have you noticed any other patterns?

They also frequently change expectations without notice, which creates confusion.

Changing expectations without clear communication can create a toxic environment. It might be helpful to document these instances. Would you like advice on how to address this?

Yes, I would appreciate that. What steps should I take?

Consider having a private conversation with your manager to express your concerns. If that feels unsafe, you might want to speak with HR.
