Constant stress at the workplace
As Management Issues states, constant haste and stress at the workplace, in which everybody (manager included) are permanently in a rush, has a toxic impact on the mental health of employees as well as on the productivity of the team as a whole.
Absence of friendly workplace relations
A good manager cultivates good relations at the workplace. Their absence, or even forbidding them, is an unsustainable approach which in the long run can cause major problems.
Unwillingness to help one another out within the team
A well-functioning team with a quality and inspiring manager is one within which employees help one another out. If no such willingness exists, something is wrong with the team management.
Poor and ineffective communication
Effective and clear communication is essential for work efficiency and a good atmosphere within any team. If communication on the part of management or within the team itself is non-transparent, ineffective or just generally poor, this may be a sign of toxic management.
Lack of transparency
Gossip, non-transparent behaviour, secrets, or lying: all these are harmful elements that have no place in a well-functioning team.
