Female Bullies - A Workplace Conundrum

Telling it Like it Is Vol 6: Female Bullies - A Workplace Conundrum

Every day there is a new post about the impact of change and how we need to change systems that hold people back. We hear about toxic leaders who play by old school rules, saying one thing and doing something horrifically different in real life.

Today's post is a nod to Stacey Vanek Smith, Author of Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition and Win the Workplace. She talks about the different female archetypes of toxic leadership in chapter eight.

Today we focus on three of her highlighted types.
