Toxic workplaces are becoming increasingly common in today’s business climate. By definition, a toxic workplace is a place of employment where there is a culture of mistreatment, negativity, and hostility, often involving physical, mental, or emotional abuse. This type of workplace can be detrimental to the health and well-being of employees and can lead to a desire to quit or drastically limit engagement in the workplace.
One of the primary causes of a toxic workplace is an authoritarian leadership style. This is characterized by an overbearing boss or supervisors, who are inflexible and unwilling to listen to the ideas of their employees. They tend to micromanage their employees and create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
