Toxic bosses are a liability and they hurt everyone

Toxic bosses are a liability and they hurt everyone. So, what can you do to protect yourself? 
1. Don’t take it personally - Do not let toxic people touch your self esteem. Their screaming, demeaning, cynical poison is about them, not you. Consciously manage your boundaries so the toxins can’t get in.
2. Retain your values - Don’t compromise your values in the face of other people’s toxic emotions. It’s surprisingly easy to slip and do things you would otherwise never do. So monitor your reactions carefully. 
3. Don’t react - Be mindful of the natural urges you have to fight back vindictively, to sabotage, to get revenge. If you do this, you become part of the problem.
  4. Don’t be victims - Fight the temptation to feel victimised by the tyrants around you. Victims feed the poison. Victims cannot lead. Recognise and act on your personal power and resilience.
Remember, 21st century managers should know their place, it's to create an entertainment for staff tho excel, take a back seat, they're not the experts, they're only part of a team and should know this, they're not Gods, though they like to think so. Their role is to support and serve staff to perform to their utmost abilities...
