VENT

VENT uses storytelling to empower individuals and transform their negative experiences into valuable resources. Our goal is to build solidarity and reduce the impact of toxic leadership on individuals, communities, businesses, and the environment. The issue of toxic (dysfunctional) leadership is a worldwide, cross-industry, cross-generational and cross-gender problem. Its consequent negative impact on mental and physical health, destroys individual lives and drains societies' capacities to support people unable to work or live healthy, balanced lives. Toxic leadership is also very expensive for companies and organizations in terms of employee turnover, loss of know-how, lawsuits and harm to reputation. On an even larger scale, harmful leadership practices and self-serving decision-making of leaders are the decisive factor in failed attempts to implement sustainable solutions to social and environmental problems.
