Talk:Toxic leader/Archive 1

Who is "Professor Jean Lipman-Blumen"?
I would like to know her background; what type of professor she is, etc. From the context I would guess she is either a psychologist or sociologist.

The reason I want to know is that these statements attributed to her, in and of themselves, seem (to me) to carry an air of arrogant authority (opinion presented as fact), e.g. "Toxic leadership is not about incompetence, lack of foresight, or run-of-the-mill mismanagement, ..." (Why?)

Also, these statements seem to have a Marxist bias, e.g. the assumption that there is a single coherent "investment class". (Don't a lot of people whom most would consider blue collar workers have financial investments through their employers?)

IMO, her ideas would not stand up to close scrutiny; but even if they do, some explanation of who she is or why her opinions are notable would be nice. --BlueGuy213 (talk) 00:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

That wasn't nice, particularly the part I just struck out... sorry, to anyone who has read it. I don't want to be an asshole, really! But I would seriously like to know more about this professor, and I think someone else reading this article might want the same.

I've searched for her name on the rest of Wikipedia. All I found was this (one sentence). So I'm going to turn the first mention of her name into a redlink; hope nobody minds. --BlueGuy213 (talk) 19:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Oops. She's also in this list. --BlueGuy213 (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Google also has two links that might be helpful to anyone writing a biography: and. (I should have thought of that earlier!) --BlueGuy213 (talk) 20:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I got mild Post-traumatic stress disorder and hiper-arausel fear complexes over a bullying boss who yelled in my face, stole my kit and over worked me at M&S for a year. 90.244.95.117 (talk) 18:48, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

The comment referring to this person is unsubstantiated and if this is a real person, then potentially libellous. 86.2.161.174 (talk) 14:25, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Link to Maladjusted musical album seems to be an accident, unless this album became some kind of symbol... which would require an additional comment in such case193.0.84.104 (talk) 14:09, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

This article...
Isn't too bad. Could benefit from expansion of sources a bit. Just my two cents. 184.7.170.184 (talk) 23:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
