Handling Bad Bosses and Toxic Coworkers

Ever thought about confronting a bad boss or a toxic coworker on your team? However tempting it seems at the time, you may want to think twice and explore all your options before you write a word or open your mouth.

Learn to identify the personality traits and behavioral qualities of bad bosses and toxic coworkers on your team. Are you dealing with a kiss-up, a credit stealer, a bulldozer, a free rider, a micromanager, a neglectful boss, or a gaslighter? Explore strategies to address problematic behaviors in a way that��s specific to each personality type. By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to navigate and overcome complicated interpersonal situations—even when the toxic personality stems from you.
