Narcissistic Leaders – those who are arrogant and self-congratulatory. This brand of toxic leader will often contrast his own abilities against a subordinate’s shortcomings. “Look at me, I can do this so easily. Why can’t you?” The Narcissistic Leader overbearingly forces himself and his personality onto the organization. He also presumes that he is the standard they should all strive to emulate. However, his tactics are so heavy-handed and self-aggrandizing that he inevitably earns the contempt of his subordinates.
