Employees endure the pain of toxic leaders because they believe they don’t have a choice. Horrible bosses are toxic leaders who are successful because organizations do not have the proper tools and assessments in place to evaluate leaders as they arise. Detecting early signs of destructive behavior lessens the probability of toxicity spreading in the organization and protects the staff; education must be given so the staff can be aware of what to look for in toxic behaviors (Pathak, 2017). Often-times employees are desperate to keep their employment therefore, they easily fall victim to manipulative behavior from a toxic leader. The leaders of the organization have the responsibility to protect the staff from a hostile work environment. Research states employee turnover rates increase because employees are not willing to cooperate with the demands of a toxic leader, these are the employees who recognize something is wrong and demand a change or leave if change is not made (Boddy, Miles, Sanyal, & Hartog 2015). The employee made a decision to save themselves.
