Leasdership and intervention leader week 9
- Having explored leadership dysfunction, you will address strategies for intervening with a leader, and you will address other elements that may have allowed this issue to develop and persist. Although you need to be sure to use the Required Readings, you also need to go beyond the course readings and seek peer-reviewed research to learn how to effectively intervene with leadership dysfunction. Research intervention strategies for toxic leadership.
