It’s easy to stay in an environment that fosters peace, creativity, and amity. But more often than not, workplaces are a home to toxicity. Be it the stress of having to beat deadlines, or simply just interacting with different personalities, a toxic work environment can, one way or another, take its toll on you. Dr. Kevin Sansberry sits down with The Introvert Leader, Terrance Lee, to talk about navigating through toxicity in the workplace. Taking an introvert’s perspective, Terrance shares how he flourished as a shy, timid guy in the industry and how he empowers others to tap into their own inner leadership potential.
