Using Positive Principles to Tame Toxicity
in the Workplace
Jo Manion, PhD, Manion & Associates
Every leader has to tackle it at one time or another… toxicity
and negativity from the staff. While you’re focusing on creating a
positive, healthy work environment and getting everyone rowing
in the same direction, chronic complainers, whiners, slackers and
bullies are sucking the energy from those around them and being
counterproductive to your efforts. This session will focus on positive
principles and practical leadership interventions that can be used to
reduce the level of negativity, at both the individual and departmental
levels, in your work place and improve the overall culture.
