Humility in Leadership

Share a story from your career when a leader either A) displayed humility in leadership, or B) displayed arrogance in leadership.  Include how it affected the organizational behavior and your leadership style.

I want to write about (B) displayed arrogance in leadership.

I worked for a leader about 10 years ago who lead by threats and bragged about the people he has taken down in his career. The fact that he was a department head and his first message to his Sailors was negative–echo through the deck plates in a very negative way. Even though he was an Officer and we had to listen to him, his respect wasn’t there and sailors and Chief under his leadership suffered.

Please use this above to expand on toxic leadership and how it effects an organization behavior.
