One of the key responsibilities of leadership is to provide a workplace environment that encourages people to do their best work. In this edition of the Leadership Espresso Shot series for my leadership podcast, I share 4 steps that can help leaders cure a toxic workplace.In my previous piece, I asked the question as to whether your leadership inspires collaboration or conflict amongst your employees and shared strategies for how leaders can not only avoid organizational silos, but the more damaging mindset of seeing people as us vs. them.This piece certainly proved to be popular, with many people reaching out to share with me various measures their organization has had to put into place to ‘keep the peace’. But I also had a few leaders reach out to say how they’re struggling with how to overcome a toxic workplace environment that is not only impacting employee productivity and morale, but understandably leading to higher than normal turnover rates.So to follow up on that piece I mentioned above, I decided to use this Leadership Espresso Shot series in my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast to share a science-based strategy for how leaders can cure a toxic workplace, bearing in mind that no two workplaces are the same.Even if you don’t suffer from this problem, I’d like to encourage you to take the few minutes to listen to this episode as I do believe the strategies I share here can also help prevent the slow creep of workplace toxicity in your organization.https://open.spotify.com/episode/2eUggLin6QJygb9GJT5RcfNoteworthy links:3 Steps To Create An Organizational Vision That Energizes EmployeesDoes Your Leadership Inspire Collaboration Or Conflict Inside Your Organization?
