Leadership

Escape toxic work culture!

Removing stress in a toxic work culture can be challenging, but there are several things we can do to mitigate it.

Setting boundaries: It's important to be clear about what we will and will not tolerate in terms of behavior from your colleagues and superiors. Setting clear boundaries can help to reduce stress and increase feelings of control.

Prioritizing self-care: Make sure to take care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This might include things like getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in regular physical activity.

Building a support system: Reach out to friends, family, and other support networks to help you navigate the stress of a toxic work culture. Joining a support group or seeking the help of a therapist can also be helpful.

Speaking up: When appropriate, speak up about concerns or issues in the workplace. Expressing our feelings can help us feel heard and can bring awareness to the issue.

Finding a new job: If the toxic work culture is impacting your well-being, it may be worth considering finding a new job. This may be the best solution for us and will help us escape the negative environment.

In order to minimize the stress, it's important to take decisive action instead of just coping with it. The longer you stay in such an environment, the harder it becomes to leave.

Employees look to business owners and their managers for direction in the workplace. Good communication that starts from the top down motivates staff members to be more productive and innovative.

These good leaders clearly communicate objectives, goals, and visions. However, poor and incompetent leaders are more than often indecisive and are unable to inspire their team.

Poor communication in leadership may stem from managers being unable to answer questions or clarify points, so that their employees are left even more confused and frustrated than when they started.

The four essential communication skills for the leaders to communicate and convince the team well.

1. Listen to learn
2. Inquire for insight
3. Tell the truth
4. Express confidence

When we complain, it produces some good feelings, we are ventung pressures. Complaining changes the balance of negative/ positive energy, and for a brief moment, we feel better. And it is addictive.

This is the problem, By complaining we are not only wasting our time but also like other addictions, we are feeding a spin of destructive, never-ending cycles.

Complaining might give us a better feeling instantly, but it spreads out which might create discomfort in the long run.

The release of pressure, the good feelings (by complaining) are ephemeral. In fact the more we complain, the more likely the frustration will increase.

You will find different corporate lessons from different thought leaders. I read and heard a lot too. Out of those, I found the following five most influential for my personal development.

1. Use your brain at work and emotions at home.

2. Never write/reply to any mail when you’re frustrated.

3. Follow-up is the key to everything. Work delegated is blame inherited. Delegate the work but never delegate the thought.

4. Unless you ask, you aren’t getting anything. It is not a favour but your right. If it is denied, you know your value and place.

5. Everyone is replaceable, and you will eventually be replaced. The only way to make it difficult is by assuming more roles and responsibilities.

As leaders, we often focus on the technical aspects of our roles - strategy, execution, results. But what truly sets great leaders apart is their ability to connect with and understand the perspectives of their team members. This is where empathy comes in.

Empathy allows leaders to:

Build trust and strong relationships with their team members, which leads to better communication and collaboration.

Understand and address the needs and concerns of their team members, which leads to a more engaged and motivated workforce.

Create a positive and inclusive work culture, where everyone feels valued and respected.

Make better decisions, by considering the impact of their actions on others.

Empathy is not a soft skill, it is a key competency for leaders to show their greatness and drive results. As a leader, make sure to take time to actively listen to and understand your team members, and show that you care about their wellbeing.

This will lead to a more engaged and productive team, and ultimately, a more successful organization.
