This informative article highlights the 'black' side of employee psychological, cognitive, and behavioral illnesses which could prove dangerous to groups within the organization, to other workers, or to the organization itself. Using The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a backdrop, we link the attitudes and behaviors of the novel's characters to harmful tendencies and syndromes that workers may exhibit, and which may make a mess of the firm; a description of the characters, the definition and indication of the maladies, and critical dimensions of each are presented. Finally, strategic elements for addressing the employees' dysfunctional behavior are discussed.
