Overview:
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time” –  Maya Angelou

Toxicity in the workplace acts like an infectious disease – it spreads and infiltrates teams and relationships, Without the understanding, skills and tools applied intentionally, toxicity will continue to spread eventually impairing the organization and burning out the leaders and staff.

In some organizations, toxicity has a seemingly intractable hold on the culture – it’s rampant. In other organizations, it is more covert but no less debilitating to the organization and the people.

People who would not normally exhibit toxic behavior begin reacting to the toxicity of others in ways that are negative and harmful to productivity and relationships. This is the beginning of a downward spiral. Toxicity feeding off toxicity. Good people will leave the team and the organization.
