What is Toxic Management? Part 2 How To aviod it

We all know that toxic waste is bad and dangerous to our health.And so is toxic management. I discussed in a previous blog how to spot it. But of equal importance is how to deal with it.
You can after all tell a lot about a company by how it treats it's people. And no mater what lets not forget for good or bad staff are brand advocates. Just picture what impression a unhappy staff member via toxic management would give a customer.Just take a greeter they would be unlikely to smile and that would reduce their approachability with customers the same can be said about many roles. But a happy employee will go and sing your praise as a business Etc. And possible win business.
But how do you avoid it?
After all in many case it is ingrained into some people in higher roles this is the best way to do things it gets results after all so why change? Changing these people mind and approach will be a challenge but just show them the damage their style of management is doing to the staff moral. Again how?
Retraining may work.
Stats may help if you can show them since they have been in charge of an area the absenteeism rate has gone up. Or any other negative stats.
But no mater what you do show them that their toxic style will no longer be acceptable any longer and if they don't change you are willing to let them go. They may be old school and that how it always been done but things change and move along.
Possible record them and show them the result but could be simple they have not realised. And no one told them there is an issue.
The solution is not a one size fit all thing it will vary.
