In this Research Handbook, Birgit Schyns, Pedro Neves, and Kimberley Breevaart bring together expert contributing authors to lay out a state-of-the-art overview of destructive leadership and explore how this can cause harm to individuals, teams, organizations, and even societies. Outlining a breadth of methodologies, the book provides new avenues for the investigation of destructive leadership to stimulate more systematic, high-quality research on the topic.
