Dudes, Do Better: Dismantling Toxic Masculinity At Work
with Jeff Harry
Monday, August 1, 2022
12:00pm - 1:00pm ET / 9:00am - 10:00am PT
Virtual Event (via Zoom)
Do you suspect that your company might be guilty of rewarding toxic masculine behavior? Are you celebrating the brilliant jerk at the expense of the team and the bottom line?
A lack of empathy, compassion, and shared humanity in many industries towards their employees lead to the Great Resignation. We find ourselves at a crossroads, having to choose between the "old boys club" style of management of the past and a future of work where we foster leaders who understand the value of balancing feminine and masculine leadership.
This session is for organizations who want to rise above the antiquated Mad Men way of managing; for the executive who understands that they need to address systemic workplace issues (e.g. toxic masculinity, misogyny, racism). This is a call-to-action - a BS Meter - for any company claiming that they care about their staff. Is your company ready to follow through on the values written in your mission statement and plastered on your walls?
In this workshop, Positive Psychology Workplace Consultant Jeff Harry will share how to:
Identify the key components to look for in a toxic masculine leadership team
Explore ways to foster strong leaders who value both feminine and masculine attributes in leadership
Determine how to implement specific action steps to eradicate toxic masculinity and replace it with actions that build psychological safety
This subject is at the heart of work, as we decide what type of leaders we want to cultivate going forward. What aspects of leadership do we want to embrace? Which ones are we ready to discard? Do we want leadership that balances masculine and feminine leadership, built on compassion, empathy, and shared humanity...or do we want to revert back to the old ways that created the Great Resignation in the first place?
One of the main reasons why staff leave is because of toxic leadership. So, if you want to attract, recruit, retain, and develop talent, you must address the elephant in the room, which is toxic masculine leadership. We cannot continue to tiptoe around this issue and believe that as long as we keep providing staff professional development workshops that help them grow, that’ll be enough for them to stay. It’s just not realistic when they have to deal with a toxic boss day in and day out. This work is vital to the success of any business.
