Webinar and Q&A:
How to prevent toxic cultures in the workplace

Webinar RECORDING

Heard the old saw that one bad apple spoils the barrel? It applies to workplace cultures too.

Workplaces aren’t swamped with toxic leaders and most managers and executives are honest, caring people. But there are enough toxic leaders in the world to create a toxic environment, damage company reputations and produce real psychological harm.

While high profile toxic leaders like Harvey Weinstein or Travis Kalanick catch the eye, more worrying are managers who don’t – and whose behaviour is tolerated in too many workplaces.

In this webinar we discuss:

  • how to spot toxic leaders and the cultures they build,
  • what organisations should do to prevent toxic leadership in the first place,
  • psychological safety as a foundation for healthy /non-toxic organisational culture
