4.5 (2 votes)

Working with other people is never easy. When toxic behavior is not addressed properly, team members become resentful, they lose respect for their leadership and they may develop their own toxic behaviors. To turn things around takes skillful management and patience. How you and your team effectively deal with toxicity can mean the difference between having a negative, drama-filled workplace and an engaged, collaborative and productive organization. Learn successful strategies and tips for building a positive, productive workplace by knowing what to focus on to move these interactions forward, how to effectively respond and ways to manage the impact of their behavior. Identify challenges associated with managing difficult employees, control your own feelings effectively and create a positive work environment so that you can end frustration, and act rather than react, to ensure a respectful, effective and collaborate team.
