Expert Solution
Toxic
leadership can exist without toxic followers, albeit this is a far rarer
phenomenon. A toxic follower is willing to be exploited and abused by a leader.
In contrast, poisonous leaders use their power position to control and manipulate
their followers. Toxic leaders and toxic followers both contribute to a toxic
environment. A leader can be toxic even if they do not have followers, but it
will be far more difficult for them to do so if they do not have any followers
who are prepared to be mistreated.
