The Greater Fool

JD Hyman Season 4 Episode 6

Why do toxic leaders seem to thrive while good employees suffer? In this episode, we explore the rise of toxic leadership through the lens of the Greater Fool theory—examining how enablers, silence, and flawed systems perpetuate dysfunction at the top. Joined by workplace culture expert Janice Brathwaite, we dive into the long-term impact of toxic environments, the emotional scars they leave behind, and how employees can spot red flags during the hiring process. Plus, Janice shares practical strategies for navigating toxic managers and reclaiming control of your career.

If you’ve ever felt the lingering effects of a toxic workplace, this episode is for you.
