There are many types of bad managers, and we can’t address them all in a blog post–or even seven blog posts.

Don’t back down from a bad boss.

– Female, 47 Dubai (from our World Workplace Conflct and Collaboration Survey) You would think by now, we’d be past the need to write about dealing with a workplace bully. .

In the Shakespearean tragedy titled after the main character, Hamlet ponders his imprisonment by Denmark and the King as well as in his own mind when he says, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” glasses can distort our reality.

The tramps quarrel, make up, contemplate suicide, try to sleep, eat a carrot, and gnaw on some chicken bones. But we always choose how we respond. This might be when we need more information and have to do some research, or to see whether a change is going become a trend, or which way the new boss, government, etc. Shall we go?”

Dear Leader: I’ve been thinking a lot, lately, about our time together – the good and the bad – and today I felt like writing you a letter. You probably don’t hear it all that often, but you’ve made a huge impact on me. You made me feel welcome. There was even a little note card from you that said, “welcome.”.

You do owe your employer your best work everyday, but you don’t owe your employer your personal life or health. A toxic work environment results from a failure of leadership starting at the top of the organization and filtering all the way down. You cannot fix a toxic culture with imposing vision and mission statements.

A staff member who routinely makes cutting remarks, elevates him or herself at the expense of others, or spreads undermining gossip can sink a department's morale fast.
