Difficult team members may fixate over technicalities, disdain innovation and think you (or others) are after them.

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.

As labor becomes more communal, networked, and overlapped to boost productivity.

Join Gabriela Vogel (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst on helping executive leaders manage these workers and the stress they cause.

Discussion Topics:

• Recognize behavioral patterns associated with difficult personalities
• Implement strategies to curtail dysfunctional behavior in four ways
• Partner with HR and the legal department to manage difficult personalities

As organizations leverage AI technologies to generate greater customer value and operate more efficiently, unmanaged AI risks threaten to impose significant costs on the enterprise.

Organizations often rely on broad, widely disseminated corporate principles, combined with lawyers or independent review boards to assess ethical risks of individual AI use cases.

However, since the principles are broad and sometimes abstract, project leaders often can’t make independent decisions on whether individual AI use cases are ethical or not. Combined with legal departments’ and review boards’ lack of visibility into uses of AI within the business, potentially unethical AI use cases may slip through the cracks.

Join this Stuart Strome (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Director, Research & Chris Audet (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director, Research, Team Manager, in this Gartner legal and compliance webinar to learn how one leading organization (IBM) is approaching this challenge by implementing an integrated approach to AI risk management at their organization that minimizes enterprise risks while maximizing the value AI delivers to their customers and shareholders.
