They also talked about strategies for identifying and tackling toxic behaviors and related stress on personal and systemic levels.Ĭondensed and edited excerpts from their online and offline conversations follow. They discussed the MHI study on burnout, which Brassey coauthored the cognitive, emotional, and physiological effects that workplace toxicity can have on individuals and their coworkers and how stress can “cascade” through the organizational levels. West recently sat down for a conversation with Jacqueline Brassey, a leader within MHI and McKinsey’s chief scientist and director of research for the firm’s People & Organizational Performance Practice. Through her research, West seeks to deeply understand what causes some people to act out in ways that contribute to a toxic work environment and the effect of those behaviors on the perpetrators, recipients, and overall work culture. West is also a professor of psychology at New York University, where she leads the West Interpersonal Perception Lab. Tessa West, author of Jerks at Work: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them (Portfolio, January 2022), has conducted extensive research on toxic behaviors in the workplace, how to identify and recognize those behaviors, and how best to respond. 1 “ Addressing employee burnout: Are you solving the right problem?,” McKinsey Health Institute, May 27, 2022.
Agent: Wendy Lawton, Books & Such Literary Management.Just as a flickering lightbulb signals it’s about to quit, employees often signal they are on the verge of burning out.Ī recent report from the McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) on employee burnout found that one out of four employees around the globe experiences toxic behavior in the workplace.
But fans of biblical fiction will enjoy an absorbing and well-researched chariot ride. Some edges need polishing: the writer’s evangelical theology occasionally breaks through explicitly (“my guilt is gone, replaced by grace”) and the dialogue occasionally rings too modern. Her portrait of the commerce and business of the time is fresh, making the family business a central aspect of the story. The denouement will be familiar to Christian readers, who will be fascinated by the ways Afshar breathes life into the ancient time and place of Jesus’s life. When Elianna later falls ill, she becomes isolated from everyone close to her. The wound of estrangement from her father over this incident never heals, even as Elianna grows to prove herself a capable business partner in her father’s textile trade.
Afshar presents Elianna, whose life is blighted by the death of her young brother while in her care.
The newest biblical fiction from Christy Award–winning novelist Afshar imaginatively elaborates on the short gospel story of the woman who stealthily touches Jesus and is healed.
