toxicity with surprise, denial, excuses, and disbelief.
A leader may be aware of but willing to tolerate toxic behaviors due to the personal or
professional benefits resulting from the toxic person's short-term factual or perceived
productivity.
Many times, an organization does not know how to deal with a toxic person and either
reassigns or isolates and reallocates the toxic person's responsibilities to other, already
overworked personnel, none of which actions address the behavior. Or, as is often the case, the
toxic person is left in place and the targeted person is reassigned out of the toxic situation
