I add a component on Remote Leadership and Remote Work from my research to help prepare future Business Leaders for the growing change to a virtual and hybrid workplace. I touched on the topic of Workplace PTSD and its relationship between what is referred to by business practitioners as Toxic Leadership and what is academically called X Type Leadership. Many of us have examples of bad leaders we have dealt with in our careers, especially at the earlier stages.\u00a0 There are also managers whose leadership style doesn\u2019t translate properly in a remote workplace and can come off as toxic.\u00a0 Further remote work makes it so that toxic leaders are exposed and documented.<\/p>\n<p>Working as a lecturer for the State of California in the CSU system is a government teaching position.\u00a0 It was recently brought up in a meeting about how to help be more trauma-informed to help our students adjust to changes from high school to college, junior college to a four-year university, and from university to the world beyond. However, something to consider is how school and workplace violence are already traumatizing students and government employees.<\/p>\n<p>Such as for teachers, even those of us who teach remotely are trained in what to do in the event of an active shooter. My friends who teach in the public K-12 system and other parents of young children advised while schools teach kids how to deal with active shooter scenarios, much like they would an earthquake drill, there are additional things suggested.\u00a0 Like for me to get my kids and myself bulletproof backpack shields and blood tablets and learn to play dead.\u00a0 When this was discussed with my colleagues, we all ended up crying.\u00a0 Further, it was discussed about government buildings having massive violent protests like what happened in Oregon during the lockdowns.\u00a0 The growing trend of violent protests has made it, so government worker unions have been able to negotiate remote work in an effort to keep people safe.\u00a0 There is also the recent incident of someone attacking a congresswoman\u2019s spouse in their own home in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the work culture tends to back these leaders and other factors causing unrest because they produce a lot although they have a revolving door of employees and a bad reputation, rather than calculating all the exit interviews and other Human Resources data to analyze how this is not a sustainable leadership model. \u00a0Much like micromanagement, these sort of leadership tactics is only meant to be used in short bursts as needed, not a consistent method of leadership.\u00a0 In these cases, those managers don\u2019t know how to lead and instead mix up fear with respect.\u00a0 This mixes up can have devastating implications past how it can hurt a business.<\/p>\n<p>Workplace PTSD is a topic that has been studied mostly in psychology for decades now at an academic level and has been warned about the increases that happened during the 2008 financial crisis.\u00a0 The news has been reporting incidents of workplace violence when it goes horribly wrong and results in shots fired or counting the dead. The news and academic research have even found an uptick in workplace violence, especially since the COVID Pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

In fact, a referenced Reuters article from 2009 notes how these sorts of workplace violence tend to uptick during recessions.\u00a0 As we look down the barrel of another recession, we must ask ourselves as leaders what we can do to help calm the waters.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some suggestions for calming the waters and preventing workplace violence:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Understand as leaders, we are human.\u00a0 Also, understanding that our teams and employees are also human.\u00a0 Once we all agree that we are flawed, then focus on managing the work, not the people. \u00a0Specifically by being empathetic and kind rather than just being nice\/ superficial.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage employee development.\u00a0 Point out to your teams that nothing is certain right now, and investing in developing new skills helps you at the company you are at and adds to your ability to take those skills with you on your career path.\u00a0 It shows that you and the company care about them and want to help them invest in themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Train Leaders to communicate and lead in less stressful ways and work on toxic habits as a part of employee development.<\/li>\n<li>Promote Remote Work.\u00a0 Remote work lowers the stresses of commuting and gives workers and leaders the ability to have space from ay toxic communication to relax in calmer ways. It also allows more flexibility and the ability to prioritize sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Leaders prioritize making the work culture include information on self-care and mental health resources.<\/li>\n<li>Stop pushing employees to work unpaid overtime and longer and harder hours than paid for.\u00a0 It just adds to burnout and increases the possibility of workplace violence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Also, here are some additional reading resources on workplace violence:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1897534159\/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_5CF78QM78JWDDNNVH552?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=drbear2023-20\">Workplace Violence: How to Manage Anger and Violence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BGJTDSTB\/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_9MJ5D7YE0ZD4GC0CMX05?linkCode=ml1&amp;tag=drbear2023-20\">Workplace Violence Prevention Handbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\u2022%09https:\/amzn.to\/3TOyMfq\">Workplace Violence<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\u2022%09https:\/amzn.to\/3SVw06J\">The Empathetic Workplace<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is a growing risk of workplace violence to stress, burnout, and workplace PTSD, and with a growing recession, post-COVID issues have made a perfect storm.\u00a0 To prevent unwanted outcomes in business, we do risk assessments, and these mindful business practices suggested may help protect us all.\u00a0 Stay safe and remember the fundamental principle of business your employees and teams are your greatest resource, so treat them well.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-17px||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|24.625px|0px||&#8221; global_module=&#8221;37900&#8243; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; max_width=&#8221;780px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|73.90625px|0px&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;780px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;36&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||70px|&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;26&#8243; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;] Want new articles before they get published?
