How do you survive toxic leadership that goes beyond bad managers? We're talking the kind of leaders who bully, intimidate and exploit their teams, creating a work environment that erodes trust, damages relationships and undermines the well-being of employees. If you have a toxic leader, what are your options? And how can your organization protect the workplace so employees feel safe to do their best work in an environment that's fundamentally inclusive, trusting and supportive?
Loren Sanders shared some ideas on ITK! Loren is a coach, author and talent management consultant who helps non-HR people better understand how HR and business can work together to foster sustained organizational success. The author behind the book Empathy Is Not A Weakness: And Other Stories from the Edge joined JD to discuss ways to confront and combat toxic leadership for both professionals and organizations looking to overcome this unfortunate but common workplace obstacle.
