'Toxic' battalion commander returns to job despite recommendation of firing
'Toxic' battalion commander returns to job despite recommendation of firing
http://www.stripes.com/news/army/tox...iring-1.309794
"(MCT) — The commander of a Fort Carson helicopter battalion objected when subordinates talked about a toxic command climate, according to documents obtained by The Gazette.
"You want toxic? I'll show you toxic," Lt. Col. Tammy Baugh allegedly told soldiers in the 1st Battalion of the 25th Aviation Regiment, documents said.
A 263-page Army investigation report released under the Freedom of Information Act portrays Baugh as a foul-mouthed boss who belittled soldiers, threw things during a meeting and sometimes stormed out of battalion gatherings....."
Sounds like an interesting person - but not one I'd like to work for.

I'm sure she will be all better now and will change her leadership style.

She is just trying to emulate the CinC.
"............and she does abruptly leave meetings when she is not pleased," the report said."

No doubt, anyone who complained about her is going to be in the "Atlas" profile, holding everyone in the COM and ACOM blocks on their shoulders.
You can already have your career ended with a COM report.
How many qualified (read expensive) aviators will resign or retire because the Army made a poor choice in her leadership skills and likely let politics decide to keep her.

"My passion can sometimes be confused with anger," she wrote.
More like, "My bipolar disorder can sometimes be confused with anger"..................
A million bucks says she's out in less than two years suffering from PTSD and receives full bennies and pay. 
Kinda makes you wonder "who" signed off on here becoming a bat commander............ and "why".

This case goes to show that politicians -- whether those in civilian attire or uniforms -- don't intend on doing anything with the "rot" that has taken hold in many chains of command.
Sad story.

A DA centralized selection board, with an affirmative action goal that needed to be met.
And she isn't a 2LT, she didn't suddenly become toxic. She had 20 years or so to develop it, while her commanders wrote nice things about her in her OERs.

LEADERSHIP & HILLARY?????

Hillary does not have any leadership ability....1. She flunked the DC bar exam. 2.and she only passed the Arkansas bar exam after Bill was teaching at the University of Arkansas Law School, NO Law Firm in the USA offered her a job. She was hired by the prestigious Rose Law Firm after Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner in the firm when Bill was elected Governor. This information was included in a book by Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton. Since Dick Morris has said this openly, so if it was not truthful he would be sued and liable for defamation of character. In a word she is a fraud....tom kelly
