    Toxic Leadership

    I'm talking generalities here, but it seems like certain immature cadets view leadership as putting themselves ahead of others, bragging, and putting on a show, constantly talk about themselves with TMI etc. Their main purpose is self serving, to be the best at all costs, and to make sure...
