When working with a client earlier this year I was told about a somewhat toxic situation that happened between a manager and a large number of employees that were accusing her of being basically the most negative person ever.

By the end of the situation, the manager who'd been considered negative had left the organization and it seemed as if a large number of employees had really teamed together and built some rapport over the fact that they "survived" the negativity of this person.

This story inspired me to discuss, on this episode, some very important concepts about human behavior we often see in companies we work with when the ego is out to play and causing a lot of chaos in our teams.

While this may seem like a more specific case, this idea of how much drama can be caused when the ego is out to play and unchecked is a great lesson for us all to learn from and be aware of in our day-to-day interactions.

So if you are someone wondering:

  • How to deal with someone who is negative
  • What can I do to be less negative
  • What to do with a negative manager
  • How to overcome a negative work culture
  • How to manage egos

Then this episode will have some great ideas for you to think about.

To be honest, I didn't think this was one of my best episodes that I'd done initially but after the edit I truly think it is one of my best that addresses a simple yet all to common situation when it comes to negativity with those around you.

Hope you enjoy. Thank you for your time and ears.

Excited to kick off 2019 and another year of this journey!

Much love, Alex
