Rather than making an occasional mistake or bad judgment call, some bosses display a pattern of bad behavior that causes widespread repercussions for employees, fellow leaders, and even customers. This is the difference between a typical boss and a toxic boss.

We all need rules. Rules are a part of life and leadership. Without them we’d like have chaos. But I have one word of advice in a world where rules are necessary. Since we need rules, let’s write better rules. That principle came to me once in a personal illustration. Cheryl and I love to travel, and we have done a lot of it together.
