Example:
The suggestions that leaders must be aggressive or caustic in their relationships with subordinates has been proven to be counter-productive to lasting engagement with the workforce (Purcell, 2014; Vreja et al. 2016). While toxic, a prestige-driven leader may achieve increased (although perhaps temporary) performance results in an organization, and this may manifest in associate surveys as follower engagement (Bell, 2020; Walker & Watkins, 2020). The narcissism level of the leader was shown to be negatively correlated to the active engagement of the follower over time. The affected associates have been shown to develop coping mechanisms to function or endure in a toxic environment (Bell, 2020; Walker & Watkins, 2020).
