So basically, you’re on your own. The organization won’t address it so shoulder the burden, act like it doesn’t bother you because it better not affect your productivity. And if you say something, well, be prepared for backlash.
That’s a tough one …….
If their drama is related to improvement of processes, environment and work, you as a leader should try to understand their "toxicity". May be your leadership approach is the main cause of "toxisity". If employee is proactive and leader has reactive approach...like "we will change / improve something after some escalation or crisis comes", the environment becomes toxic, because reactive leader will hire alike people with the same approach. For reactive leaders proactive employee becomes always toxic because he is raising uncomfortable questions and issues, which the reactive leader does not anticipate in advance. What to do? Help him to grow. The employee identified a gap and proposed technical solution / process improvement, transfer his proposal into something profitable both for the team/department/ company and the employee himself. May be his proposal will be transferred into new project, which will be led by this employee... I observed many proactive people, whose feedback left unheard by managers. In the course of the time they became silent and resigned. Who is toxic in this scenario: employee or reactive managers or environment...good question.
Just do not.
We can’t control what others think, say or do. We can only discipline ourselves not to respond to disagreeable people in ways that feed and fuel them. There is no win for the person who works and frets over trying to force someone to change. They are, and always will be the losers in the fray. As Sun Tsu said “He who knows himself and his enemy, need not fear the outcome of a thousand battles”. Good luck everyone.
I know alot of these people an its a accurate statement.
