WOM2306. Women Supporting Women: From Toxic Boss to Cheerleader

Toxic bosses are everywhere. Have you worked with someone labeled as a "toxic" woman boss? Have you been labeled as toxic or difficult to work with? Unfortunately, some women leaders, who we hoped would support and guide those coming behind them, are described as challenging to work with and labeled toxic. Having a toxic boss can be a difficult and stressful experience for any employee. Toxic bosses can cause a lot of harm to an employee's career, as well as their emotional and mental well-being. In this session, we'll address toxic boss behavior, how women can avoid being labeled a toxic boss, and how to manage a toxic boss in your workplace. Disclaimer: This session may unintentionally trigger past emotions and bring up old experiences. This presentation is designed to support and provide insights on this issue.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify behaviors women may have that create a toxic workplace and a toxic management style.
• Use strategies to establish best practices to create a leadership style that allows everyone to thrive at work
