Overcoming weak leadership and workplace toxicity - seeking answers to what has become a growing concern. I have witnessed firsthand and by observation great workers being vilified by weak leaders. Regardless of skills and experience, knowledgeable and highly skilled, emotionally intelligent people are being shown the door without regard to the ripple effect on other staff to placate reactive management who are threatened by a worker who displays intelligence and skill.

That sounds like a really tough thing to witness let alone go through. 😞 We hope you're okay Lisa. So discouraging when talented people aren’t supported the way they should be.
Hopefully, sharing these experiences helps shine a light on what better leadership should look like, and people start to feel more comfortable speaking up. You deserve a workplace that treats you well.

and what about people who know someone they get a job all to fail. lots of places are on the search for talent but when people fail its pretty bad business.
