How do your leaders respond to problems like rumors, gossip and internal politics? A common mistake is to attribute the problem to individuals, overlooking the organizational culture that invites these damaging behavior patterns. Rumors, gossip and politics are evidence of leadership gaps that can create a toxic workplace. The good news is that leaders can be trained to fill those gaps.

During this talk, your speaker, Jared Oates, chief operating officer of Niche Academy, will show you how to train leaders to build relationships, fill information voids and pair measurable goals with accountability. Toxicity spreads easily, so training for a healthy culture needs to happen across the organization.

This interactive session will provide easy-to-understand insights on how to:

• Close leadership gaps that lead to rumors, gossip and politics.
• Address these damaging patterns effectively with the right skills.
• Improve even long-standing behavior patterns with training.
