The Moment You Realise You Hired a Toxic Employee
OMG! That’s the guy I hired!
A client had this realisation during one of my workshops, as I was describing how you can spot a toxic person at work.
Signs of a Toxic Workplace Culture You Might Be Overlooking
All of a sudden, she could see it clearly—how the environment made it easy for this person to be toxic:
- People didn’t feel like they could raise things without fear of consequences
- The manager herself was not being vulnerable
- She wasn’t asking for the team’s help to solve problems
- Unintentionally allowing toxic behaviour—who has the time to nip every toxic action in the bud?
That’s how we’re enabling someone toxic our team.
Hindsight is a beautiful thing, but not necessarily very useful, FINAL. So, let’s do something about it today.
Are there ways you could create a safer psychological work environment, one where a toxic person simply could not thrive?
Let me know what comes to mind for you.
All good things,
