Surviving a Toxic CEO/Director: A Guide for HR and Other Managers (FREE PHYSICAL EVENT)
How to Survive and Thrive When the CEO/Director is the Problem
“I work for a large parastatal and recently moved to a position where I work with executive leadership a great deal. It didn’t take long to discover that they are the root cause of our incredibly toxic work environment. Without getting into too many details, let’s just say that the C-suite believes they are amazing leaders with no room for improvement (they’ve actually said this out loud). In reality, they micromanage, set unrealistic deadlines (we’re talking about being given a month to do what should take a year), are closed off to feedback, and create an overworked and stressed-out workforce.
My role is supposed to make things better for this workforce, but my leaders refuse to accept my expertise. They’ve overruled every recommendation I’ve made. Now, I’m in a position where I feel really uncomfortable working toward their goals because I know the decisions being made won’t help us reach them. I’m essentially lying to thousands of people, telling them things will get better when I know the programs I’m rolling out won’t be effective. Please advise me, perminus”
