Following up on a previous podcast, we are continuing to talk about toxic bosses. This time we are talking about the Gameplayers. We have all dealt with these folks, the drama kings and drama queens who love to play games with the people they work with. These people behave badly and stir things up just for the psychodrama, or to hide their insecurities and shortcomings. It gives them an over-inflated sense of having influence. It is exhausting and takes valuable time and energy away from getting the job done. It can have a huge negative impact on team and company performance. It creates an uncomfortable and off-putting culture, affecting recruitment and retention, and fostering a bad reputation as a workplace. But the bottom line is that playing games with your employees is simply akin to being a bully.
And the number one reason they act this way is because they are afraid. So what is it that they are so afraid of? And most importantly, how can you deal with these types of leaders?
Rich and Maikel talk about the gameplayers, and how to beat them at their own game on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
