How do you identify that toxic company culture from the outside to avoid joining it. Or, if you’ve already joined it, how do you identify the toxic elements and create a plan to protect yourself from them? In this episode, we’ll outline six signs of a toxic company culture, and offer a few insights to keep that toxicity from infecting you and your team.
Top-Down Leadership Style
Information Hoarding
Default To The Status Quo
Recreational Complaining
Quick Excuses
Top Performer Turnover
Seek to mitigate against top-down leaders. Smash silos and information hoarding. Favor change over the status quo. Listen to complaints before they become recreational and be quick to learn instead of quick to shift blame. In doing so, you’ll make cultural changes—even if it’s just on your team—and you’ll reduce top performer turnover. More importantly, you’ll build a team where everyone can do their best work ever.
