Matt Paknis Leadership Development

In 100% of organizations where toxic power and control dynamics manifest as bullying, abuse, pedophilia, and discrimination, those in leadership roles are aware of the abuse, yet fail to address, stop, or report it to legal authorities.   All bullying and abuse is rooted in a bully's, and co conspirators', fear of being exposed as incompetent frauds.  The most talented, and decent, people trigger this fear, and are targeted. So, the best people are often bullied.

The worst bullying manager I’ve known conducted his assaults in private sans witnesses.
