    It must encourage its employees to overcome their differences and promote an environment that promotes responsibility, dedication and transparency. He must make his presence known on a regular basis to reinforce coherence in the workplace. Since speaking to the group, together and individually, has not worked for Doug, I would suggest that he engage his employees in a way that fosters understanding and better working relationships with each other.

However, if all else fails and his employees continue to behave the way they do, in an unbiased and professional manner, Doug needs to directly address his employees' toxic behavior and put clear expectations in place. He must inform his colleagues that they must either change their behaviors and work as a team or be asked to leave, reiterating that he will not tolerate the way his organization currently operates.
