Unveiling the Secrets to Tackling Toxic Team Dynamics
Without Stressing Over Making Matters Worse or Wrecking Relationships.
Here's the problem: Little things like - the problematic way a team member speaks to other team members - will always create more problems if they are not addressed. It’s the toxic emotions and dysfunctional behaviour that occur in the absence of a forthright conversation that causes the greatest damage.
I hear about this all the time—and, if I am honest, I fall victim to it in my own life sometimes, too. Old habits are hard to break, and it's a habit for me to "shut up and put up" rather than address the issue when it arises.
I was chatting with a friend, who told me about a team member who displayed a real lack of consideration for others in her interactions. She was rude, demanding, and lacking empathy.
All the other staff are tip-toeing around this person for fear of making matters worse.
There has been no conversation—as yet—and it seems that the level of frustration and annoyance among those who have not spoken up is growing by the minute.
What could have been a simple call to account and course correction is becoming bigger than Ben Huer. As a result, the desire to have the conversation is diminishing as emotions fuel the perceived complexity of the situation, and it's getting hard to get a clear view of what is happening.
If you don't talk it out - and the sooner, the better - you act it out, and it grows like a dis-ease.
Small things become big things, and then no one wants to deal.
I always feel mixed emotions when I hear stories like these—sadness, anger, frustration, and annoyance. These situations should not be happening. They don't need to happen if only we could be brave enough to speak up!
I know from personal experience how emotionally draining and time-consuming these situations can be. They take up way more bandwidth than they really should, and that is why I do what I do. I don't want you to have to experience these kinds of situations.
They are yucky, and there is a happier way.

In it, we will learn how to de-escalate defensive dialogue without the fear of making matters worse and wrecking the relationship.
