There is a difference between toxic and failing leadership. One might be fixable with training and supervision, the other requires removal and replacement with someone else. And BTW, that someone needs additional support while they sort out what's gone wrong and who needs attention or transfer.

Joe there is no lasting solution for toxic leadership. It is a human condition. People seem to be fine till you give them almost total power and then they want to rule the world. What higher up's need to do is constantly monitor their subordinates and when it seems that they are losing it- pull them in, counsel them and warn them that units/troops are more important than careers. Keep it up and they won't have a career.

This is something that someone else presented as well. But what is there to do at those higher levels. Division commands and higher have almost completely autonomy and no supervision.

Leaders should monitor and fix subordinate leaders. Some leaders can't show the respect and love subordinates need.

And for the guys and gals with stars on their collars? Who should be tasked with policing them when there is pretty mich full autonomy granted and very very little supervision if any at all?

True, sometimes the solution is impossible to fathom. Suck it up is the solution sometimes. Such a shame.

SGT Joseph Gunderson - That should of been found a long time ago. If there are issues like that from the command they should not be given another command. It is very competitive at that level.
