The repercussions of their negative behavior can range from difficult to toxic — gossiping, unreliability, undermining, bullying, insubordination, display of incivility, and insolence.

All of these actions have impactful ramifications for the organization and its workforce in terms of the overall climate, culture, engagement, and productivity.

Executive leaders need to identify and address the most common dysfunctional behavior in their teams and partner with HR and their legal department using their companies’ practices and processes.
