Abstract

In this article, the researchers have proposed actions for elimination of destructive leadership behavior by identifying the anti-organization and pro-subordinate behavior of leaders. Besides, there is a summarization of the existing destructive leadership researches that take a new direction. The study explores basic features and mechanisms that define destructive leadership. Identifying each type of destructive leadership currently studied (e.g. supportive disloyal, constructive, derailed and tyrannical leadership) shows different aspects. This study focuses on supportive disloyal leadership, and addresses some related issues. Then there is an explanation of some of the characteristics of pro-subordinate destructive leadership that set it apart from other forms of leadership, and consolidate this thinking into a theoretical model which helps us understand indicators of destructive leadership, and their background and impact on followers and organization.
