Overview of the webinar

"They are often known as narcissists, bullies, and clever chameleons who knock down, but kiss up," said Dr. Mitch Kusy, author of his newly released book, Why I Don't Work Here Anymore: A Leader's Guide to Offset the Financial and Emotional Costs of Toxic Employees. They shame, manipulate, and belittle in public and private as their modus operandi. Working with organizational leaders, leaders feel the angst they cause, but are often unaware of how prevalent they are or how much they cost-in terms of money and team performance. What can leaders do to both deal with them once they are in your organization, as well as how to prevent these Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydes from ever entering your company? 
 
In this webinar, you will understand how Dr. Kusy's extensive 3-year national study of over 400 individuals provides critical answers. Mitch's heavily researched Toxic Cost Worksheet will demonstrate how leaders can determine the financial ramifications of toxic people in you own organizations-up to 6% of total compensation costs and use this to sell to leaders why the buck stops here. 
 
Beyond financial costs, Mitch provides innovative and simple recruiting practices to avoid hiring these narcissistic personas in the first place. And what about those 51% of employees who are likely to quit because of a toxic person? Stay tuned for his innovative use of the exit interview that will make you say: "Why didn't I think of that?"
 
He tackles the two top questions he has received from previous participants: How do I handle a toxic boss? How do I help organizations design cultures of everyday civility that mean business?
 
Strategies are easier when your toxic person has performance problems. But what about those toxic individuals who are your organizational stars? Mitch shares how giving feedback to a toxic star is painful, but it can be done quite effectively. He concludes this webinar by demonstrating how to integrate these strategies into daily practice-building new norms of respectful engagement that offset toxic behaviors. Positive organizational cultures are designed one strategy and one person at a time. He relates this through rich examples, robust practices, and clear strategies-all formed from Dr. Kusy's research and evidence-based methods.
