I would approach the two staff members involved and ask to talk to them privately to explore their thoughts on the situation (Professional Issues Panel on Incivility, Bullying, and Workplace Violence, 2015). I would like to hear their sides of the story and get the details of the issues that they were discussing and explore why they feel they are having the feelings they are experiencing. I feel that the group leader in this situation is experiencing incivility within the work place. Early diagnosis is interval in diminishing toxic workplace environments caused by incivility (Laschinger, Wong, Cummings, & Grau, 2014). Connecting with the employees in a timely manner concerning the situation puts the incivility at a halt promptly and communicates that this type of behavior is going to be addressed without delay and thoroughly. When nurse leaders clearly communicate their expectations, they avoid blindsiding employees and ensure that everyone is on a level playing field and this sets acceptable behavior standards for employees (Laschinger et al., 2014). Providing interventions aimed at ways for employees to handle their emotions properly as in self-reflective exercises or peer coaching sessions is an important aspect nurse managers need to offer employees displaying incivility (Zhu et al., 2015).
