Resumen del Editor

You can rise above. You do have options. Do you work in a toxic environment or have a toxic boss? You're not alone! Today, unattainable expectations, emotional harassment, and demands to do more with less often leave employees overworked, underpaid, insecure, and out of options. Must you continue to put up with poisonous people in a morale-crushing environment?

In Rising Above a Toxic Workplace, you'll learn how to endure, cope, or quit if necessary. Drawing from authentic - sometimes horrific - real-life stories, authors Gary Chapman, Paul White, and Harold Myra blend their expertise to give you practical guidance, empowering insight, and realistic hope. You'll discover: how workplaces can become unhealthy and how to avoid getting wounded; what drives toxic leaders and why they are so damaging to those around them; essential tips for maintaining your sanity while dealing with dysfunctional colleagues; and counsel on how to decide when to leave - for your own mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

helpful

this book definitely helped give me some tips and things to consider while going through a difficult time. it's not amazing, but it was helpful

Loved this book! so helpful!

I have a lot of selfish and negative coworkers I was struggling to keep a positive attitude. this book helped me learn what I could do to improve my situation and I feel much happier at work!

Helped me to understand

Gives us examples of good and bad behavior along with ways to deal with them.

A Life Saver

This is an amazing book. I believe that it will resonate specifically with a certain temperament more than others. All can really benefit, but I believe people that are particularly empathetic will really find comfort in this book. At times, I find it difficult to identify and then describe toxic behavior because it is so foreign and difficult to understand. This book gives meaning to my experience and I suspect that of many others.

It gives hope, and reminds us to focus on strengthening ourselves, which I believe to be especially good advice. You never know when you will run into a toxic or dysfunctional person. But with helpful tools to identify and deal with them, we are that much more empowered to handle them effectively, while still being our best selves.

I better go, my toxic boss is around the corner!
