Leaders who leave others behind, Toxic Leadership, Under performing to untapped potential that cannot be figured out after enormous investment.

The word 'Authentic' in this context has lost it's meaning or continues to feel brassy.

From hire to retire, the cracks in this cycle are compounding in nature as sick leave and absenteeism escalates, turnover continues, and difficult performance reviews continue, while exit interviews are more waste, than insightful.

From pricing the products,to compensating the team, to securing market share to the effective cross team dynamics driving this, it is still an effort, or has reached a degree of toxic with not enough increase to the bottom line to make this worth the effort.

Unspoken conflict that permeates the business often due to the CEO, Founder or equally influential member(s) of the team that has resulted in countless problems inside and outside the business. The shareholders are now starting to notice something's up.

A critical foundation that still feels more of a  box ticking exercise than a transformational catalyst for culture, collaboration and creativity. The issues from the past are still very much here and the term Psych Safety feels hollow at best.

Conflict was what this was ages ago. This is now toxic and full of various stakeholders having overreactions in seemingly normal situations. Connection, communication and collaboration are more dreams than reality here.  Unless someone intervenes and forces change, this doesn't move forward or look to change anytime soon.
