Short Answer:
Toxic cultures often show up as high turnover, lack of trust, poor communication, and disengaged leadership
Full Answer:
Culture is the undercurrent that shapes every interaction and decision. A toxic culture can be subtle or glaring—but always costly. Some signs I often diagnose through the RESULTS with heart™ lens include:
- Silence in meetings or fear of speaking up
- Blame and defensiveness among teams
- Values on the wall that don’t match behavior
- High-performing people burning out or leaving quietly
- Resistance to accountability and ownership
Left unaddressed, these patterns erode morale, innovation, and your bottom line. The first step? A psychological safety check and a leadership culture scan—both offered in my team coaching engagements.
