Amazon proposes "Lament for an Army" from John English, renowned Canadian author. Only 10$, probably worth buying as well. 2019.

Thanks! The Human Face of War is 378$ on Amazon, I'll go for Something Rotten!!

what about this? Two different military members. You're like St Thomas in the Bible, you need proof. I thought everyone could relate to toxic leadership, especially those who served. I guess I was mistaken.

Or is it "The Human Face of War"?

Thanks a lot Rudburg, I'm looking him up now, "Something Rotten - Land Command in the 21st Century" ? I can also recommend the Toxic Boss Survival Guide. Funny and informative.

I provided some suggestions as the end of my paper. Adding to those, I think we are not preparing our leaders for today's challenges. We do a great job at teaching skills, but not so good at taking care of human resources. I got one day only of training on resiliency before going to Afghanistan...

So the main criticism is that I didn't provide examples, fair enough. In order to conduct the interviews I had to convince people I would not provide names or examples so they wouldn't think they're in danger. You want examples, boy, where do I start: A WO on Phase 3 infantry threatening to...

I served from 1992 to 2014. Since then I've been a consultant with DND.

Thank you.

You are right that I don't provide exemples of toxic leadership in the CAF, I'll give that to you. I'm quoting 2 "friends" by the way, not 1. But if you've never witnessed or experienced toxic leadership in the CAF, good for you. I am jealous, like many, many others. I know people who actually...

You know you're funny when you say (only) 15 out of thousands and thousands, because I can't see how someone could possibly interview the entire CAF... I mean, I have a day job after all. But, if you think I'm the only one who believes there is toxic leadership in the CAF, I encourage you to...

I sincerely don't know what you're referring to when you write "I talked to a friend". I actually interviewed about 15 individuals to write this, including 3 GOFOs, one of which was a former VCDS. The article has been peer reviewed by multiple people. But clearly, a little controversy is...

Did you read the article?

It is obviously my first time on this platform. Judging on the replies I got it's probably my last as well!

I wonder how many minutes you've served in uniform to say that talking about toxic leadership is spam. That, or you live in a world of unicorns and rainbows; if that's the case I envy you.

Ok Mr. Editor that's a great lesson in writing you're giving me. Many thanks.

Well

Ok so if I provide examples guess what people will say: he wants revenge. I bet you've seen countless exemples of toxic leadership in your time in uniform, you don't need an example to figure it out. And yes, both people quoted are Canadian soldiers, that goes without saying.

Here's my my blog article on toxic leadership. I'd like to know if some of you experienced/witnessed toxic leadership when in uniform. Toxic Leadership in the CAF
