The concept of toxic leadership in organisational context.According to Dave root, 2016, When leaders fail to live companies value and develops aself-centred attitude, the result may be toxic. Toxic leadership represents the 'dark' side ofleadership. It has adverse effect on organisation, subordinates and the performance of a societyand the country. A toxic leader is a person who has some responsibility over a group ofindividuals in an organization. These leaders are boastful and arrogant, they think they arealways right and expect other individuals to follow their orders, and organisation should workaccording to them. Studies have proved that out of every fine leaders one is toxic. They do notwant any opinion of others, they just want others to quietly follow their direction. Since thisleader lacks concern for others and organisational climate, it will lead to short and long-termnegative effects. With their destructive behaviour patterns and dysfunctional interactions, theycreate a disillusioned and de-motivated workforce in the organisation. Toxic leadership isnegatively related with commitment and motivation of employees while it is positively correlatedwith high turn over and intention to leave behaviour of employees. As we know leaders play acritical role in an organization, which is why it is very important for all those who are in aleadership position to incarnate the culture and set right example for others. Sometimes, theseleaders may be harmful because leaders who don't make time to listen their employees may missout some critical information which may effect the company. Due to toxic leaders, employeeperformance may decline, because when there is no response is generated from the leader soemployees think that their behaviour is acceptable. Where there is toxic leadership, the ethics ofworking environment are compromised. In opposition of toxic leadership, healthy, reliableleadership nurtures and affirms the self-respect, worth and effectiveness of an individual. Itcreates meaningful, enabling and empowering work experiences. It is the leader who plays amajor role in retaining a employee.2
