Hear, hear! I admire the executives who see the toxicity and aren't afraid to speak directly, with care, with the leader. So often, that conversation doesn't happen and it's a missed opportunity for everyone. Not to mention, you're likely losing the direct reports below them in the process because they're frustrated that the behavior continues to be permitted.
The number of times Ive had leaders ‘outsource’ the toxicity for me to resolve. I find it helpful to coach the initiating leader as well on stepping into their own leadership before outsourcing the conversation/development.
Cheers to this!! One thing I've been impressed by in the start-ups I have supported so far with this topic is that they made their best effort before seeking a coach. They delivered the feedback, created opportunities for practice and growth, involved other leaders where relevant internally. It's when they found themselves stuck that they said: 'perhaps an outside/objective resource could help us here'.

The queen of delivering feedback saying it best!
You’re too kind! 🥰
