This course addresses the root causes of workplace toxicity and delivers practical, research-based strategies for cultivating a positive, high-integrity organizational culture. Drawing on doctoral-level management science and the discipline of Martial Arts, the curriculum focuses on:
• Recognizing early warning signs of toxic behaviors in managers and staff
• Navigating difficult conversations and reporting channels
• Empowering employees to set boundaries and advocate for themselves
• Promoting ethical leadership and accountability at all levels
• Rebuilding trust, engagement, and psychological safety after toxic incidents
Participants learn through interactive case studies, scenario-based exercises, and group reflection. The goal is to equip individuals and organizations to recognize, address, and prevent toxic dynamics—reducing turnover, risk, and operational disruption while fostering a culture of respect, high performance, and well-being.
Throughout the course, participants receive personalized feedback from instructors and peer coaching sessions to reinforce their learning. The assessment strategy includes reflective journals, group presentations, and a capstone project where participants design and implement a transformative management initiative tailored to their organization or sector. Graduates leave the program with a robust toolkit to spark innovation, elevate team performance, manage change initiatives, and lead transformative organizational change with confidence and resilience.
