Abstract: The study investigated the impact of fame suppression on company growth in the construction industry’s small to medium enterprises. The toxic triangle was used as the theoretical framework in this study to explain how toxic leaders can cause toxic environment as well as influence employee. The study used the quantitative approach, with a sample size of 160 drawn from the three Aluminium companies under study. Questionnaires were sent to SMEs employees and management of three Aluminium companies in Harare. A correlation and regression analysis was carried out to find the relationship between the variables. The research found out that fame suppression has an impact on company growth, although there are other factors that affect organisational growth like slow adoption to technology. The study recommended the reduction of fame suppression through the adoption of strategies like employee involvement and participation in decision making as well as encouraging both management and employee training. The research further recommends that there should be further studies to explore in other towns where other fundamentals may be different and in other sectors too.
