Why I Don't Work Here Anymore

A Leader's Guide to Offset the Financial and Emotional Costs of Toxic Employees

By: Dr. Mitchell Kusy

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

You have likely heard stories from friends, family members, and colleagues who quit a job because of a toxic person - an individual who belittles, shames, humiliates, or bullies. You may not have realized that these individuals not only take their tolls on our emotional psyches, but also the financial outcomes of their organizations. Through this book's many case examples, as well as evidence-based practices and templates, each chapter singles out one main issue and how to resolve it with respect and clarity.

Dr. Kusy presents concrete practices that will restore civility and respect into your organization. Some of these practices include:

• Calculating the real financial cost of toxic people in your organization
• Providing direct and respectful feedback to a toxic peer, direct report, and even your boss
• Replacing traditional exit interviews with a method for dealing with toxic chameleons who "knock down and kiss up"
• Hiring, engaging talent, and even firing people based on a new approach to values-based performance management

You will emerge with a newfound understanding that restores personal well-being and increased financial performance.

Absolutely amazing

This was the perfect book for me to read as a business owner and a leader

Hard to wade through

This book has a lot of information but the way it is written it just drones on and on. Gets very technical and is hard to listen to. Maybe a better physical book.
