Identify conditions in which toxic behaviors can manifest themselves in an organization.
- Answers -An organization experiences toxicity because its culture, policies, and
systems create the conditions for tolerating and enabling uncivil behaviors.

conditions for the toxicity to flourish.

professional benefits resulting from the toxic person's short-term factual or perceived
productivity.
