organization. Right Ans - Leader training and development- The means of
addressing toxic, counterproductive leadership cannot be limited to
punishment, removal, and dismissal nor individualistic character
development. Leaders need skills in demonstrating and promoting resect
among team members

to benefit from the biased performance evaluation system. Supervisory

Organizational culture and policies- The purpose of the military departments'
core values is to clarify expectations and behaviors as a means of addressing
toxic leadership. the military departments need to reinforce a culture that
truly reflects the highest standards of values-based behavior. Tis means that
members not only refrain from disrespecting each other but that they also
demonstrate the highest resect for each other; that they not only give the
appearance of selfless service as they pursue personal benefits but that they
also serve to empower others' success, even if they receive nothing in return;
and that they also hold each other accountable.
, Identify conditions in which toxic behaviors can manifest themselves in an
organization. Right Ans - An organization experiences toxicity because its
culture, policies, and systems create the conditions for tolerating and enabling
uncivil behaviors.
Typically, an organization identifies the problem only as the toxic individual,
overlooking the environmental factors in its culture, policies, and systems that
are creating the conditions for the toxicity to flourish.
Leaders often take a strong stance against incivility yet respond to allegations
of workplace toxicity with surprise, denial, excuses, and disbelief.
A leader may be aware of but willing to tolerate toxic behaviors due to the
personal or professional benefits resulting from the toxic person's short-term
factual or perceived productivity.
Many times, an organization does not know how to deal with a toxic person
and either reassigns or isolates and reallocates the toxic person's
responsibilities to other, already overworked personnel, none of which
actions address the behavior. Or, as is often the case, the toxic person is left in
place and the targeted person is reassigned out of the toxic situation
