☣️ How does working under toxic leaders shape you as a manager? ☣️ A memory from my early marketing career: my former manager would assign identical tasks to three marketing managers simultaneously, creating a corporate Hunger Games. We were trying to outperform each other, the atmosphere thick with tension. Strangest part? None of us spoke up. We accepted this as "normal." Years later, as a leader myself, I understand with crystal clarity why this toxic approach was so damaging. It didn't create innovation or excellence – it brought distrust and damaged collaboration. Three talented professionals working against each other. Now, I'm lucky to watch the next generation of leaders emerging within my own team Oleksandr Postoiuk Olha Olifirenko Dara M.. Each of my leads are developing their own authentic managerial style – very different from mine, yet equally effective. They're building genuine relationships with their teams, proving that authentic leadership isn't about following a single template, but about finding your true voice. My key task now is not to ruin that style, but to observe and help whenever needed 🐣 This journey taught me that good leaders can emerge from challenging experiences, but only if we choose to transform those lessons into something better. The key isn't simply avoiding toxic behaviors or teams – it's having the courage to be authentically human with your team and creating space for others to do the same 🌳 #leadership #velitech
