Self-transcendence never happens without internal and external self-awareness. More often than not, these types of leaders are insecure, fearful, etc. Just like any other human, they have needs that have not been met early on and now cover that up with the behavior we see and label as "toxic." We have a systemic problem that needs to be corrected. One that creates the conditions for better leadership AND encourages self-discipline, awareness, and responsibility.

You’re right. It’s the system that produces and coddles these bosses. Great point!
