Troublemakers to Team Players: How to Identify and Manage 5 Toxic Employee Types

Is your team being sabotaged by disruptive behavior? Learn to identify and manage five toxic employee types and turn troublemakers into contributors.

Let’s face it: when it comes to unprofessional conduct in the workplace, bullying, gossiping, and slacking off are just the tip of the iceberg. These disruptive behaviors, if left unchecked, can sink morale, stall productivity, and, ultimately, affect your entire business. As a leader, you set the cultural tone for your team, which means that ignoring these issues makes you just as responsible for the consequences.

In this Silver Dollar episode of Stay Paid, we examine the problematic behavior of five types of employees who can derail progress and threaten what you’re working to achieve. We’ll identify the warning signs and equip you with strategies to turn these troublemakers into contributors.

By the end of this episode, you’ll . . .

• Understand the nature of “learned helplessness” and how it BREEDS FRUSTRATION across your team.
• Discover why “martyrs” can be EVEN MORE DETRIMENTAL to a team than “slackers.”
• Learn the leader’s mindset that keeps conversations with disruptive employees from ESCALATING INTO CONFRONTATIONS.

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy this episode and feel empowered to take control of your workplace culture.
