What do you all think about this... Are there some leaders so toxic that they overpower the overwhelming amount of good leadership, or are there actually more toxic leaders than good ones?

I blame our current promotion Step program. Soldiers are being forced to be promoted too quick when they aren't ready to be NCOs quite yet. Also doesn't help that "Everyone is a leader" mindset is enforced, because thats just so unrealistic. Not everyone is cut out to be a leader, doesn't mean they are bad soldiers though. IDK just my two cents.

I do agree to a point that Soldiers get promoted before they're ready but sometimes, you need to have your feet held to the fire. If there's a good leader mentorship program within your unit(s), this could fix some of that. In terms of the Army, I think we don't empower our NCO's enough and let them lead nor do we hold them accountable when things don't go right. Part of being a good leader is to understand how your people work and knowing what your own strengths and weaknesses are, and working on them. You also want to bring those under your charge up to your level someday because let's face it, they will likely replace their leaders one day.

Neither is an overwhelming force as they both impact you differently. You should learn from toxic leadership what you don’t want to be when you have to leader soldiers. You should take away characteristics from leaders that are superb. That way you can find your own balance and generate your own leadership style.
