The toxic handler: organisational hero – and casualty
Claire Cox posted an article in Culture
In this article published in Harvard Business Review, Frost and Robinson discuss toxic handlers – managers who voluntarily shoulder the sadness, frustration, bitterness and anger of others so that high-quality work continues to get done. Managing the pain of others is hard work. Toxic handlers save organisations from self-destructing, but they often pay a high price – emotionally, professionally and sometimes physically. Some toxic handlers experience burnout; others suffer far worse consequences, such as ulcers and heart attacks. This article discusses burn out within healthcare and other industries, how it can happen and offers solutions. Free full text on sign up and registration.- Posted

Content ArticleThe Just Culture Guide from NHS Improvement supports a conversation between managers about whether a staff member involved in a patient safety incident requires specific individual support or intervention to work safely. It asks a series of questions that help clarify whether there truly is something specific about an individual that needs support or management versus whether the issue is wider, in which case singling out the individual is often unfair and counter-productive. It helps reduce the role of unconscious bias when making decisions and will help ensure all individuals are consistently treated equally and fairly no matter what their staff group, profession or background.
