Meer over het boek

This book assists professionals in managing difficult or potentially dangerous colleagues, employees, or superiors who create a toxic work environment, negatively impacting both individuals and organizations. While some of these individuals may have underlying psychological disorders, often their harmful behavior is not yet classified as such.

It outlines the typical traits of toxic individuals, delves into their motivations, and presents actionable strategies along with real-life case studies. This resource is valuable for managers, personnel developers, trainers, consultants, and coaches within various organizations. The content is based on the original German 2nd edition, and the English translation utilized AI technology, followed by human revision to ensure clarity and coherence.
