How Courageous Followers Stand up to Destructive Leadership a Thesis Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership A Thesis Presented to the Swinburne University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2020 by Alain Marc Mario de Sales Principal Co-Ordinating Supervisor : Dr. Samir Shrivastava Associate Supervisor : Prof. Christopher Selvarajah Associate Supervisor : Prof. Timothy Moore Abstract Instances of Destructive Leadership abound. It is a growing phenomenon with very real consequences and yet it remains under-researched. The scant work that exists on Destructive Leadership tends to focus on leaders and generally discounts the role of followers. Responding to calls for models which recognise that outcomes are often co-created by leaders and followers, this study explores how followers stand up to leaders to mitigate destructive outcomes. This study anchors its arguments to the Toxic Triangle framework (Padilla 2013), which focuses on the confluence of Destructive Leaders, Susceptible Followers, and Conducive Environments. The insights from this study augment the Toxic Triangle by adding Courageous Followers to the framework. Using Power and Structuration theories as theoretical lenses, the study analyses the discursive actions undertaken by Courageous Followers to shift the power balance while attempting to collapse the Toxic Triangle. The study analyses twelve longitudinal episodes from three cases of Destructive Leadership that spanned decades. Given that the cases entailed shifts in power balance and the fact that discourse and power are said to be indistinguishable from each other and mutually constitute each other, the study adopted Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method. CDA explored the tension between agency and structure as the power balance shifted. The findings showed that when faced with Destructive Leadership, discursive actions related to building and maintaining coalitions were necessary (but not sufficient). ‘Rubiconising which was acting decisively to cross a point of no return was also found to be an effective discurisive act. Courageous Followers had to ‘activate’ individuals and entities across levels to confront the Destructive Leadership phenomena which tended to span micro-macro level boundaries and across social systems. Thus, boundary spanning was a key action that shifted the power balance. Courageous Followers often succeeded through intensifying their actions across levels (i.e., persisting using various avenues and structures). Somewhat counter-intuitively, the act of internally confronting Destructive Leadership proved ineffective. The emergent theoretical frameworks identify discursive actions that can collapse Toxic Triangles despite being at a power disadvantage. This research has implications for how societies, organisations and followers might combat Destructive Leadership. The study suggests policy changes that could be made to institutionalise structures to mitigate destructive outcomes and makes a case for researchers to treat outcomes as artefacts that are co-created by leaders and followers. Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership i To all the women and men throughout history that had the courage to resist destructive leadership. Our world has been improved by your sacrifice. Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership ii Acknowledgements While my name might be on this thesis, the completion of this thesis is a testament to the assistance, guidance and encouragement from many people. I would like to recognise those people that constituted my informal and formal team on this journey. Melody Powell, my best friend and partner, I would not have completed this project without your support, inspiration and dedication. You lifted me up in my most difficult times, encouraged me and patiently listened to my endless rantings about thoughts so esoteric, that I even lost myself. These words do not come close to expressing my gratitude for you. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for my supervisory team. My Principal Coordinating Supervisor, Dr. Samir Shrivastava, for supporting me over these years, for guiding me, challenging my thinking while empowering me to challenge him. Beyond his brilliant attention to detail, Samir supported me in navigating through the non-academic challenges as well. My Associate Supervisor, Professor Tim Moore, who joined the supervisory team at a critical moment. Tim, you have elevated the quality of my thesis and pushed me to improve my analysis and writing in ways that will serve me into the future. My Associate Supervisor, Professor Christopher Selvarajah, has provided me with continuity through this project and opportunities that have allowed me to enter academia. The collegiate environment that Chris fosters encouraged me to join Swinburne University. He along with Samir and Tim would make the time to show me their friendship and support. I would like to thank Professor John Fien who was on my initial supervisory team and understood what I wanted to achieve in my thesis before I did, and pointed me in the right direction. I am grateful to you all. I want to thank my fellow PhD candidates that have encouraged, supported and understood me. This journey has been made easier with the support network that we have. I have learned from you and enjoyed this journey in no small part because of getting to know you. Finally, I want to thank my family, who emphasised the importance of education, from my parents that forced this dyslexic boy to go to school, to my grandparents who studied in a village without electricity under candle light to elevate their lives, to my sister who inspired me with her work ethic. All that I have achieved has been by standing on the shoulders of those that have come before me.

The 1930s proved that: the Winter Olympics in Germany in 1936, when the President of the International Olympic Committee threatened to cancel the Games unless the anti-semitic posters were all taken down now, whatever Adolf Hitler decrees; the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin and Hitler's look of utter disgust when Jesse Owens, a negro, won the 100 metres; the World Heavyweight title fight in 1938 between Joe Louis, a negro, and Germany's Max Schmeling which carried racial undertones and overtones. The fight lasted 2 minutes 4 seconds, and in that time Louis knocked Schmeling down four times. They say that some of Schmeling's teeth were found embedded in Louis's glove... Motor racing, a dangerous but genteel activity in the 1920s and early 1930s, was touched by this, too, and touched hard. The combustible mixture produced two Grand Prix races at Donington Park, in 1937 and 1938, which were just as dramatic, just as sinister and just as full of foreboding. This is the full story of those races.

  • Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and the New York Times, and Dan Elsberg
    Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and The New York Times, and Dan Elsberg NIXON TAPES: "Get the Son of a B*tch" Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) President Richard Nixon talks with his Attorney General John Mitchell about the leaked secret government documents about the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers. They first discuss the position of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who did not want to investigate the leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, because of his friendship with Ellsberg's father-in-law. Nixon descries some of the "softheads" in his administration who want him to go easy on Ellsberg. He notes that they need to "get the son of a b*tch" or else "wholesale thievery" would happen all over the government. The president feels that the P.R. might not be bad on their part, because people don't like thieves.

TWITTER Edward Kosner EMAIL Oct. 17, 2012 3:14 pm ET PERMALINK SAVE PRINT TEXT Raoul Felder is a macher—a brash operator, the model for the feral New York divorce lawyers called "bombers." A Brooklyn boy, he is the baby brother of the legendary songwriter Doc Pomus, the crony of comedian Jackie Mason, and a quote machine whose number was in every tabloid reporter's Rolodex back when reporters had Rolodexes. His new book, "Reflections in a Mirror," comes with a sly disclaimer tucked into a paragraph on page 10: "Memory or lack of memory caused me to invent some of [the story] or forced me to lie about the rest." But that hasn't kept him from delivering an entertaining if ramshackle memoir full of moving vignettes of family anguish and youthful striving, plus celebrity tattle about his roster of clients and their bizarre marital messes. Like any master litigator, Mr. Felder has a fondness for the sound of his own voice. Compelling chapters of his book are interrupted by grandiloquent riffs and inane shaggy- dog stories about sharing an elevator with Yankee slugger Reggie Jackson or being ignored at a party by Barbra Streisand and the Broadway producer David Merrick.

INTRODUCTION For almost two years, from early 1973 to September, 1974, Watergate dominated the nation's consciousness. On a daily basis it was on the front pages-usually the headline; in the news magazines-usually the cover story; on the television news-usually the lead. Washington, D.C., a town that ordinarily is obsessed by the future and dominated by predictions about what the President and Congress will do next, was obsessed by the past and dominated by questions about what Richard Nixon had done and why he had done it. Small wonder: Watergate was the political story of the century. Since 1974, Watergate has been studied and commented on by reporters, television documentary makers, historians, and others. These commentators have had an unprecedented amount of material with which to work, starting with the tapes, the documentary record of the Nixon Administration, other material in the Nixon Presidential Materials Project, plus the transcripts of the various congressional hearings, the courtroom testimony of the principal actors, and the memoirs of the participants.

Fields, Walt Disney, Benjamin Franklin, Jackie Robinson, Walter Winchell, Thomas Wolfe, Jack London, Knute Rockne, Harry Truman, John Wayne, Warren Buffett and many more familiar names. Besides being illustrious Americans, these men shared a calling—growing up, they were newsboys, delivering newspapers to subscribers or, more colorfully, hawking them on the streets for a couple of pennies, real money in those days. In their time, newsboys (girls were rare) were American icons—symbols of unflagging industry and tattered, barefoot, shivering objects of pity. They had their own argot and better news judgment than many editors, because they had to size up the appeal of every edition to determine how many copies to buy from the publisher. Some used hawking as a cover for picking pockets, but most were as honest as they could afford to be.
