1 out of 4 workers experience toxic leadership. This staggering statistic from the 2023 Work in America Survey highlights a critical issue in today's workplaces.

I had gone through negative experiences, too, having to deal with toxic leaders more than once. (link to the statistics here).

But there's hope, which comes in the form of leaders like Kimberly Williams, Vice President of People at Walker Advertising.

Kim's journey from a diplomat at the U.S. Department of State to a champion of diversity and inclusion at Walker Advertising is more than inspiring. Her unique blend of integrity, interpersonal skills, and innovative approaches to recruitment and retention sets her apart as a leader who truly understands the pulse of a healthy workplace.

In this riveting conversation, we dive deep with Kim into how to create safe and thriving work environments amidst the challenges of toxic leadership. We'll uncover tools to empower ourselves and our teams, explore the dynamic roles of younger generations in reshaping leadership, and delve into the evolving legal landscape of workers' compensation for psychological harm.

This episode is more than just a discussion; it's a journey into what makes a leader truly effective in today's world. Join us on this enlightening exploration of leadership, personal growth, and the profound impact we can have in our workplaces.
