Rather an interesting and provocative question. I'm glad that the Army is looking at this- workign for guys who meet this description makes life really miserable whether you are in the military or civilian life. Sadly- I think there are a fair number of them around. I would be surprised if most people had not worked for someone who fits this description. I can think of two commanders who I worked for over the years that fit this bill- one of whom finally got relieved though too late to save several good officers who finally just bailed; but the other just wrecked careers until he finally retired.

The Army has relieved four active-duty brigade commanders since the beginning of the year. At least two of them were toxic leaders, according to the Army’s internal investigations.
How do you spot a toxic leader?...
