Destructive management leadership: a review essay: Destructive leadership and management hypocrisy: advances in theory and practice, by Selin Metin Camgöz & Özge Tayfur Ekmekci

Some might argue that leadership is – by definition –destructive (Kropotkin, 1902; Piven & Clowad, 1971; Parker et al., 2020). And there is plenty of evidence for that in our world, from Russia’s Putin to America’s Donald Trump, from India’s Modi to Brazil’s Bolsonaro, from Hungary’s Orban to Italy’s Meloni – the list goes on. And this does not even include super-destructive leaders like Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and Pinochet. Yet, in management studies things are different – here managerial leadership is great.
