End the Reign of Pain: Identifying and Treating Toxic Leadership

End the Reign of Pain: Identifying and Treating Toxic Leadership is one of the most important leadership books you will ever read!

Many people, especially leaders, are toxic and don’t even know it. Others cannot recognize what a toxic leader is―or whether they are following one. The end result of all this toxicity is pain in life and relationships.

This book is about toxic people, toxic behaviors, and ultimately toxic leadership.

It is an intense transformational trip into you. It will help you deal with the “whys” behind the ways you think and act. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of human behavior and what drives people. What’s presented is provocative, challenging, revelatory, mind-altering, and downright life-changing.

To know the effective side of leadership, you must understand the toxic side as well, including:

• Sources of toxicity
• Destructive leaders
• Bullies
• Poisonous parenting
• Toxic Masculinity & Toxic Femininity
• Leader lusts
• Poor followership
• and much more

Why do so many people live in unhealthy ways in their thinking and relationships, lack boundaries, and exude arrogance? Why isn’t anyone holding these people accountable and showing them a better way to lead? Exhaustively researched and displaying penetrating leadership insights, Dr. Rickardo Bodden lays out a training manual that answers these questions and gives vital instruction on building healthy leaders, organizations, employees, parents, and families.
