About this episode

This episode discusses how to handle toxic leadership in the workplace and offers practical insights for employees and managers.

This week on the People Centric Podcast, we talk about what to do when your leader feels toxic. Leaders are meant to set direction, create alignment, and reinforce the mission, vision, and values of an organization. But what happens when their behavior seems to work against all of that? In this episode, we explore what toxic leadership can look like, how to recognize when a leader is treating people poorly, and how to honestly ask whether the problem is truly the leader or something in your own response. From frontline employees to managers to executives, this conversation offers practical insight for navigating one of the hardest dynamics in the workplace. Have questions about this topic?
