We are keeping the stories going with our Cautionary tales. In this episode, leadership coach Leili examines Joseph Stalin as a cautionary case study in how power, fear, and unchecked control can destroy an organization from within. Using Barbara Kellerman’s framework of bad leadership, she explores Stalin’s cruelty, rigidity, and unpredictability—and connects those patterns to the quieter warning signs that can appear in everyday workplaces. The episode ultimately challenges listeners to notice when truth is being filtered, compliance is replacing independent thinking, and fear is preventing people from acting with integrity.#IntegrityOverScale #BadLeadership #InVivoLeadershipStrategies
