The change leadership literature is unsymmetrical with a heavy focus on constructive leadership theories and a dearth of research on the potential value of destructive leadership. In light of this imbalance, the purpose of the media review was to provide a pragmatic perspective on Gordon Ramsay's use of destructive leadership and its potential usefulness in transforming failing restaurants as shown in the television series, Kitchen Nightmares. Kitchen Nightmares showcases Ramsay's use of destructive leadership at various stages in the change process. Insight from Ramsay's leadership highlights a unique angle for destructive leadership in which Ramsay acts as a “Strategic Tyrant” by using hostile methods of influence to lead followers toward goals that align with (not contradict) the organization's interests. Ramsay's tyrannical role as a “Chosen One”‐“Hired Gun” hybrid is explained, including the extent to which he is successful in leading change in languid and inert organizations that seem almost destined for failure.
