 PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER

Do:

- Talk to the person and try to understand what is causing the

behavior
- Give concrete, specific feedback and offer the opportunity to
change
- Look for ways to minimize interactions between the toxic
employee and the rest of your team
 PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER

Dont:

- Bring the situation up with your other team members. Allow them
to mention it first and then provide suggestions
- Try to fire the person unless youve documented the behavior, its
impact, and your response
- Get so wrapped up in handling the issue that you ignore more
important work and responsibilities
