These are an agency’s toxic employees — who can be such a distraction from the agency mission that supervisors and other employees seem to spend more time dealing with internal issues than they spend actually providing service to customers. Toxic employees tend to be perpetual plaintiffs who file baseless grievances, complaints and lawsuits throughout their careers. They work to intimidate supervisors while deflating the morale of their fellow employees due to management’s apparent inability to hold them accountable for their actions. This is not a traditional leadership course. This course will introduce public safety leaders to strategies for confronting this small but extremely damaging presence in the workforce in a way that both protects the integrity of the organization and is legally defensible. Ensuring that these management techniques are legally defensible is particularly important in light of the fact that so many toxic employees demonstrate an obvious willingness to challenge agency efforts to hold them accountable. The course will be conducted by the Dolan Consulting Group and is designed for all levels of law enforcement supervision and management.
