Posted 20 days ago Toxic management is hard to abandon, especially if you don't know what it is. One can not change what one can not see and then there is added challenge. That is that one of these damaging behaviours are identified and one would stop doing them and what happens next? If you want to stop a behaviour, habit or activity that no longer works for you; you ;must make positive towards the new behaviour or strategy in order to implement change. There is less resistance to making new than there is when you try to stop something old. What are your thoughts on toxic management? |

| Posted 20 days ago That was easy for you to explain. I take it you want to know how to abandon a bad habit that has stopped or limited performance.The first thing I require me to do is accept that it is not the right approach or habit to hold. Once I have accepted it as a bad enfluence then I must accept a new positive habit and start the gradual change for it to become a habit. The time is now to grow and learn as much as possible. Take action and responsibility for your actions

| Posted 20 days ago I think I know what toxic management is and have witnessed it in other managers I've worked with. In my past I have always been told I am a great manager who's creative and easily conforms to change. But I have social anxiety which hurts me in being a rolemodel since I may focus on other tasks and not so much on the customers like I should unless they are my direct view.
I have worked with managers who are far worse though, there was one woman who all she would do is use her pregnancy as an excuse and use her power to have people do as she wanted. She would sit on her but all the time and whine and she would have associates leave our store to fetch her food or drinks or other things. Our store manager would js\ust let her behavior persist and overlooking it because he felt sorry for her which led to so much conflict in the work place and aggravated the crap ourtof me since it added even more onto my workload. I even called her out on it and she would just say how the store manager lets her and if its a problem then he will tell her and that I'm not her boss.
A store manager who allows behavior to persist and spread and then it circles around to where the lower manager thinks its ok since he lets her behavior go unchallenged. T'was a sick cycle that aggravated associates and me, not to mention what customers would think seeing her sitting around and asking associates to get food.
I think that would be a good example of toxic management. |
