The timing of Toxic Leaders and Tough Bosses comes at such an important time in our society. This book arms the reader with the tools to identify toxic leadership within their organizations and gives ideas and strategies to support employees to create positive workplace cultures. The cost of toxic leaders is high, but the positive impact of great workplace cultures is greater. The choice between the two can make or break an organization. Dr. Daniel paints a clear picture of both. If improving your workplace culture is important to you, then this book is for you!

Dr. Teresa Daniel opens our eyes to the fact that toxic workplaces are destructive--socially, mentally, financially, and even physically. Piercing a veil of delusional normalcy, beyond which workplace cultures themselves honor, endorse - and even reward - erstwhile exploitation of our common emotional biology, she arms us with pragmatic science-based solutions that serve everyone's best interest. To survive, to thrive . . . read this book!
