Tolerating Toxicity at Work?
I'm getting lots of requests to work with teams experiencing the many negative side effects of toxic employees and team dysfunction, usually stemming from interpersonal issues between one or more employees.
Team leaders and their colleagues are at their wits end with the growing list of headaches that often result from prolonged, unresolved people issues, including:
Erosion of trust, commitment, productivity
Plummeting team morale and fear of speaking up
Avoidance of accountability and poor communication
Confusion over roles, responsibilities and how to collaborate effectively
And, in some cases - there is also fear of conflict escalating to litigation.
Sounds familiar?
Do you have a team member whose bad behavior you’re tolerating?
Are their unchecked actions poisoning those experiencing it?
Maybe it's even two leaders within the same team who are not getting along and it's causing dissention?
Or escalating conflict between a supervisor and their direct report?
It's amazing how much one personal, or two people having a conflict, can poison the whole team, right?!
And not just in terms of decreasing team morale, but in severely stunting progress, and decreasing the overall impact of the organization.
Leveraging Mediation Coaching instead of PIPs
Unnecessary tension in meetings, confusion over unexplained delays, so much time spent documenting for HR purposes, all the stress to address on-going employee complaints...who has time for this?!
What a waste!
Yes, there are absolutely some employees who are overdue for termination and need to go. And pursuing formal HR processes to exit them out, is indeed the appropriate way forward.
However, the vast majority of team dysfunction in the workplace can be resolvable and repairable through targeted coaching interventions that are designed to reset, realign, and repair the broken trust and relational issues in a way that not only helps the team members in conflict, but the whole team.
If you're a team leader and know people issues need to be addressed but doing it on your own (and/or through internal HR channels) isn’t yielding results, I'm here to tell you today that you have options and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
I have a proven model that will turn the situation around. Your entire team will thank you, because trust me - it's negatively impacting everyone, way more than you think, and definitely more than they're telling you.
