Transforming Toxic Workplaces: Insights for Middle Managers
with Dr. Laura Lovett
In this powerful episode of Marc Haine Live, we’re joined by the incredible Dr. Laura Lovett—an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and expert on workplace psychology—to tackle one of the most expensive and emotionally draining challenges in business today: toxic bosses.
Toxic leaders don’t just impact team morale—they affect productivity, increase turnover, and cost businesses billions annually. But here’s the catch: sometimes, these toxic behaviors are unintentional. How can leaders recognize these behaviors in themselves or others? And more importantly, how can employees and organizations protect themselves from the fallout?
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ How to identify the warning signs of toxic leadership. ✔️ The difference between a difficult boss and a toxic one. ✔️ What toxic workplace dynamics cost businesses and careers. ✔️ Actionable steps to regain control, make a career exit plan, or transform leadership styles.
