We’ve all met them at some stage in our lives. Those people whose responses seems a little odd and whose behaviour can be completely ‘off’ sometimes. Those people who can look you in the eye and lie, who manipulate situations to suit themselves. The classic definition is ‘psychopath, but, as David Gillespie tells us, Hollywood has pretty much hijacked that term so we often call them sociopaths or narcissists and there are overlaps with these.

If you missed them, Juliet talked with Davie Gillespie about Toxic People in episodes 62 and 63 (part of our Summer Series) where he discussed what’s missing for these people and how to identify and manage them.

In this episode, Juliet and Kristy-Lee recap David’s findings and talk about how to ensure we don’t bring these people into our teams, where they can do immeasurable damage, and how to manage them if they are already there. We would love to hear from you if you have had or still have a psychopath in your team and how you have managed their impact on you and the team.

At the time of recording this episode, we are in the midst of yet another round of legislative updates which employers are required to come to terms with. In fact, the last 2 years have seen the most significant changes in Industrial Relations legislation in Australia in more than 10 years. For employers, business owners, managers and leaders, this can easily become overwhelming to manage.

In this episode, Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss how to manage the overwhelm that can come with keeping up with your organisation’s compliance requirements.

We would love to hear from you about how you deal with this with your team, how do you ensure you’re across your compliance requirements, without spiralling into overwhelm? You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/
