The term “toxic leader” was coined in 1996 by Marcia Whicker of Virginia Commonwealth University and popularized by Professor Jean Lipman-Blumen from California’s Claremont University. Her 2004 book is entitled “”The Allure of Toxic Leaders: Why We Follow Destructive Bosses and Corrupt Politicians - and How We Can Survive Them.” It’s probably a must-read for Republican leaders who may be pondering how they will survive the toxic leadership of Donald Trump.
