I thought this was a very interesting article pertaining to toxic leadership in the Army and what it looks like. Has anyone ever experienced toxic leadership?

I learned long ago that good great leaders treat everybody with respect and do not lord it over those who serve the community of or the military unit Cadet 2LT (Join to see).
I have done my best to look people in the eye who are serving and thank them. To often those who take care of our basic needs for cleanliness are ignored or looked down upon.
Anybody who has served for any length of time has encountered toxic leadership. In my 34 years of service I encountered it at battalion level once or twice but usually at flag officer level.
On the other hand I observed it under my own level many times. In those cases I tried to confront the toxic leader and help them correct their leadership techniques - that met with mixed results.
However doing what is right and standing up for those entrusted to your care is always a noble pursuit and will help you to sleep well.
Thanks for alerting me SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL

I think if you stay in for any amount of time, you will face some form of it.
Myself, I have been a contributor to bad command climate. Luckily, I had a chief (senior NCO) set me straight. Never had a problem after that...
The one thing I would say is that sometimes, in the heat of work-ups, deployment, whatever, your patience will wear down. That is the time you need to double down and make sure that what you are doing empowers the people below you, and furthers the goals of those above you.
