I have a person that continues to gossip, lie and start so much drama in my work place. The person brings all problems to work about how the kids make her sick ,or the dog, or the spouse or another friend. Even talks about sex life ,it goes on and on. Whoever the person works with at the time is their bff but talks so bad about them when they are not working together. It is causing so much stress for me and others. This person goes to human resource and lies to them trying to be the victim. Then comes back letting people know they went and etc. This person is always negative and I feel the person harassing myself and others. How do I stop this? I am a lead that needs leadership advice.

[…] Don’t participate. Engaging in gossip shows those you supervise that this sort of behavior is acceptable. Though letting employees vent to you might seem like a good idea, doing so without offering to take action or encouraging an open conversation among all parties simply lets the situation fester. And if an employee finds out you’ve been talking about him or her behind their back, it can undermine the employee’s trust in you. […]

When
dealing with gossip in the work place a manager have to get a handle on it as
soon as possible and as a manager you have to remember that all it is gossip.
As the manager you must take charge and put a stop to it before it get out of
hand. Lots of employees feed on gossip in order to get what they want. Some people
believe that gossip is fine as long as it doesn’t harm the organization. It’s
unprofessional to gossip in the work place so it should not be allowed by the
employer.

In reply to Tenaswillia. All conversations are worth joining in an attempt to aid or advance the good, or vanquish the bad. The time to leave is when you can no longer engage in any of the above. Thanks for stopping by.
