Authoritarianism and Bogus Empowerment

Dr. Sandra Bloom and Sarah Yanosy lay out the fundamental characteristics of those who are high in authoritarian traits and how they perpetuate the destructive impact of authoritarian leaders – whether in organizations, systems, or countries. Then the hosts describe types of toxic leaders and their use of bogus empowerment to feign democratic participatory practice. They conclude with partnerism, an economic alternative to capitalism, as a means of respecting that which has intrinsic value and thereby creating a more sustainable world for us all.
