By Dr. Emily Watson<\/b><\/p>\n
Third of three parts<\/em><\/p>\n
In Part 1 of this series I discussed the type of problems that emerge in a workplace where gossip, drama, and negativity get out of hand, making life more difficult for everyone.<\/p>\n
In Part 2, I offered solutions, such as having those difficult conversations to get past problems and explaining the culture during job interviews so new hires understand what\u2019s expected.<\/p>\n
Of course, even when you introduce a zero-tolerance culture, you have no guarantees that every day will be pleasant or that every interaction among employees will be perfect. But I can attest to the fact that for my office, the culture change ultimately led to a better team.<\/p>\n
But it wasn\u2019t easy getting there.<\/p>\n
Superstar vs. Toxic Employee<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Let\u2019s say you want to introduce such a culture at your organization and you move forward with implementing it. What you may find is that even some employees who are otherwise stellar performers simply don\u2019t fit into this new culture. They may be excellent at what they do, but they simply don\u2019t get along with their co-workers \u2014 and may even cause constant friction with those co-workers.<\/p>\n
