This quote, taken from Kusy and Holloway's research on toxic
personalities, echoes the frustration and confusion that come from
working with or managing an extremely difficult person. Just one
toxic person has the capacity to debilitate individuals, teams, and
even organizations.

Toxic Workplace! is the first book to tackle the underlying systems
issues that enable a toxic person to create a path of destruction
in an organization, pervading others' thoughts and energies, even
undermining their very sense of well-being. Based on all-new
research with over 400 leaders, many from the Fortune 500 list,
this book illustrates how to manage existing toxic behaviors,
create norms that prevent the growth or regrowth of toxic
environments, and ultimately design organizational communities of
respectful engagement.

Kusy and Holloway's research reveals the warning signs that
indicate a serious behavioral problem and identifies how this
toxicity spreads in systems with long-term effects on
organizational climate, even after the person has left. Their
two-year, cutting-edge research study provides very specific
actions that leaders need to take to reduce both the intensity and
frequency of toxic personalities at work. No other book provides
this menu of options from a systems perspective with practical
relevance in real work situations.
