Another thing manning should perhaps start examining is Toxic Leadership.
I had never heard this term before, but have experienced it at first hand. Many times I had heard of leaders feathering their own nest but that article is very well written putting much flesh onto the bones previously referred to as a selfish t***. Worthy of note that toxic leadership is not seen by the Command Chain only by subordinates.
Perhaps if the chain of command look for it, then perhaps it would be seen after all. FWIW I think that such a stance is infectious in a similar manner that discontent (low morale) amongst the troops is.
