Toxic Leadership in the Humanitarian World

We've arrived at episode 200 - I can't believe it!  For this special occasion I have asked a special guest to come on the podcast.. my husband Shannon. Shannon has over 20 years' experience working for INGO's and the UN in numerous countries from Haiti to Afghanistan. He's had a lot of experience in the field, and unfortunately also a lot of experience under toxic leadership.  In this episode we discuss why toxic leaders exist in the humanitarian world, what we can do in a toxic situation and also what organizations should start doing to promote change.   It is simply amazing that a field in which we care for others there still exist leaders who harm more than help... whether they are aware of it or not.
