These employees are three times more likely to experience toxic behaviors and four times more likely to want to leave their organization, write Jacqueline Brassey, Erica Hutchins Coe, and Barbara Jeffery, with contributions from Kana Enomoto, director of brain health at the McKinsey Health Institute.
