When Employees Toxic Behaviors Are Tolerated

When toxic employees' negative behaviors are tolerated, it can have a hugely detrimental effect on the company's culture, decrease collaboration between teams, affect the way customers are treated, and so much more.

People in leadership positions will often look for a quick fix, but it’s not that simple. It’s easy to blame the hiring process or one individual employee, but unfortunately, the buck stops with you as the person who sits in the leadership position. You need to take full responsibility for the low morale at0 your organization and urgently address the situation before all the good employees leave and the toxic remains.

The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate.
