Toxic team dynamics are behavioural or communication patterns which destroy a healthy workplace. Key signs of a toxic team are:
- Lack of productivity and progress
- Leaders draining time dealing with conflicts and relational issues in the team
- Low morale
- Passive aggressive behaviour like talking behind people’s backs, complaining, game playing and teasing
- At it’s worse people in a toxic team can experience mental health issues like stress and depression because it’s not a nice place to work
