{ "item_title" : "Toxic Management", "item_author" : [" Tahseen Khan "], "item_description" : "TOXIC MANAGEMENTManagerial Behavior, Employee Responses, and Organizational Outcomes What happens when a workplace looks perfectly ordinary from the outside but people inside it are quietly learning to survive? Why do intelligent employees remain silent when they know something is wrong? Why do toxic managers sometimes sincerely believe they are fair? Why do organizations continue protecting managers whose behavior damages the people around them? And why can a workplace become unhealthy without anyone deliberately deciding to make it that way? TOXIC MANAGEMENT explores the hidden dynamics behind these questions.This is not a book about villains. It is a book about people, power, fear, ambition, silence, incentives, loyalty, responsibility, and the organizational systems that can turn ordinary managerial behavior into something far more damaging. Through psychologically informed analysis and realistic workplace situations, Tahseen Khan examines how toxic management begins, how employees adapt to it, how silence becomes normalized, and how one manager's behavior can gradually become part of an organization's culture. The book explores the manager who believes they are fair, the manager who uses control as a substitute for trust, favoritism and the economics of loyalty, fear as an invisible management system, manipulation, unpredictable rules, insecurity, and the consequences of power without accountability. But the story does not end with the manager. The book also examines the employee response: the first silence, rational fear, compliance, cynicism, alliances, resistance, withdrawal, and the difficult decision to stay or leave. Then the lens becomes wider. What happens when HR is caught between employees and management? What happens when senior leadership chooses not to know? What happens when organizational systems reward the very behavior they claim to condemn? And what happens when people begin looking away because confronting the problem has become more difficult than accepting it? TOXIC MANAGEMENT ultimately moves beyond diagnosis toward responsibility and repair. It explores what employees can realistically do, whether toxic managers can change, what HR and governance must build, and how organizations can be designed to resist the development of toxic cultures.At the heart of the book is a simple but demanding idea: Management is not simply what leaders do to people. It is what people become because of how they are led.For employees trying to understand what is happening around them, managers questioning their own behavior, HR professionals dealing with difficult workplace dynamics, and leaders responsible for organizational culture, this book offers a serious examination of one of the most important and often misunderstood problems in modern working life.Because the cost of toxic management does not always appear on the balance sheet.Someone still pays it. 1. toxic workplace culture2. abusive supervision3. employee silence and voice4. psychological safety at work5. destructive leadership6. workplace power and fear7. organizational behavior and management ", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/623/9798166239266_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.55", "online_price" : "23.55", "our_price" : "23.55", "club_price" : "23.55", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
