The Allure of Toxic Leaders: Why We Follow Destructive Bosses and Corrupt Politicians and How We Can Survive Them (Oxford) by Jean Lipman-Blumen.
 What you thought would be a dream job turns into a nightmare. Toxic leaders are everywhere and are hard to spot before you're hired.

 Common destructive behaviors are:

• Leaving employees worse off than they found them by undermining, demeaning and terrorizing them.
• Consciously feeding their employees illusions that enhance the leader's power and impair the employee's capacity to act independently.
• Playing to the basest fears and needs of the employees.
• Stifling constructive criticism and teaching supporters - sometimes by threats and authoritarianism - to comply with, rather than question, the leader's judgment and actions.
• Failing to nurture other leaders, including their own successors.
• Maliciously setting constituents against one another.
• Identifying scapegoats and inciting others to castigate them.
• Ignoring or promoting incompetence, cronyism and corruption.

All or some, check your list.    Just a thought.
