Storytime! A tale of two leaders; Deek is a weak and under-performing executive level leader who singled out mid-level leader, Eve. Deek created an environment that attempted to manipulate the perception of Eve's character, integrity and performance amongst her peers. Gaslighting and deflecting any concerns raised by Eve and her team, Deek's emotional immaturity resulted in knee-jerk decisions and abusive verbal interactions. Deek's lack of integrity and poor leadership skills created a hostile work environment and targeted Eve. Eve accepted valid criticism, was accountable for her actions, ensured corrective action and professional growth were accomplished and openly discussed her weakness to source experience and knowledge from her peers. Concerns from several individuals regarding Deek's targeted abuse were presented to management. Eve reluctantly filed a complaint. Management concluded that Eve had been treated poorly and her complaint was validated.
