“The day this person left our company is considered an annual holiday!”

THIS QUOTE, taken from Kusy and Holloway’s research on toxic personalities, echoes the frustration and confusion that come from working with or managing an extremely difficult person. Just one toxic person has the capacity to debilitate individuals, teams, and even organizations.

Toxic Workplace! is the first book to tackle the underlying systems issues that enable a toxic person to create a path of destruction in an organization, pervading others’ thoughts and energies, even undermining their very sense of well-being. Based on all-new research with over 400 leaders, many from the Fortune 500 list, this book illustrates how to manage existing toxic behaviors, create norms that prevent the growth or regrowth of toxic environments, and ultimately design organizational communities of respectful engagement.

Kusy and Holloway’s research reveals the warning signs that indicate a serious behavioral problem and identifies how this toxicity spreads in systems with long-term effects on organizational climate, even after the person has left. Their two-year, cutting-edge research study provides very specific actions that leaders need to take to reduce both the intensity and frequency of toxic personalities at work. No other book provides this menu of options from a systems perspective with practical relevance in real work situations.

You’ll learn how to identify the toxic personality and describe the leader reactions and approaches that typically don’t work. Toxic Workplace! provides hands-on approaches that work with research-based strategies at the individual, team, and organizational level.Toxic Workplace! will provide new insights on how leaders lead, how organizational cultures sustain themselves, and how teams deal with toxic personalities.

    I had to read this book for a class and I have to say I'm glad I picked it. It is an essential guide for anyone looking to go into management or is already in management. It's a super easy read and useful in the workplace. I def recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with a toxic person at work or just to prepare yourself for the possibility of working with someone toxic.

    Not only is this book well written, but it is based on real research - not just an opinion survey. The authors do a great job describing what you can do from different perspectives. You might not be able to change your whole organization, but you can avoid common misnomers and at least handle any situation more informed than using trial-and-error that could cost you emotional energy and wasted time.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2011

    The contents of this book provided me with a great understanding into the behaviours of my team that I couldn't find elsewhere, and why the team wouldn't deal with the toxic personalities that existed. It also highlighted some of the hidden effects on other individuals. I have now started the process of turning the team around and dealing with the specific problem individuals.
    It is worth reading if you have trouble personalities in your work place and I have shared it with a number of other managers in my workplace.

    It is written in consultant speak - and is excessively repetitive. Don't try and read it cover to cover - it seems to be designed for the skim read. An interesting read that draws on good management practices. No silver bullets (unfortunately).
