This study aims at filling the theoretical gap in Turkish literature about destructive leadership which is a serious problem for organizations, leaders, followers, and their families; and contribute to related field studies. In this regard, first of all, the definitions of destructive leadership by several authors were made abiding by the literature. Then, types of destructive leadership were described in terms of several perspectives and causes that create destructive leadership were explained. Next, the study attempted to cover the effects of destructive leadership on organizations and employees on the grounds of research results. Finally, precautions that should be taken to eliminate or minimize destructive leadership were addressed. The ultimate purpose of studies on destructive leadership is to prevent the destruction it causes to persons and organizations. Therefore, an ethical framework that makes destructive leadership inapplicable should be implemented.
