Is it a bad Culture or a Narcissist Co-worker?

Narcissists, characterized by their excessive need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others, can significantly impact office culture when they are in the workplace.

Here is How?

• A narcissistic co-worker might spread rumors, take credit for others' work, or manipulate situations to their advantage. Such actions can erode trust among team members.
• They are excellent in blame game and tries their best to divert attention, by blaming and highlighting other instances.
• Employees might decide that the office culture is too toxic or stressful, leading to higher turnover rates. This can cost companies significantly in terms of hiring and training new staff.
• Given their sensitivity to criticism and tendency to view others as rivals, narcissists can be a source of frequent conflicts in the workplace.
• A narcissist's need to control narratives and processes can lead to a lack of diverse input and stifle creativity and innovation.
• Working closely with a narcissist can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even burnout for some employees.

How to Spot them?

It's interesting to note that narcissists often perceive feedback differently. While most of us see constructive feedback as a tool for growth, narcissists might see it as a direct threat, making them double down on their stance.
