"There has to be accountability for different actions or actions not taken, and we don't have to impart shame and blame. We can explore and problem-solve, and that calls people up.

"No. You hear that word 90% more than you hear yeses… The nos sometimes come from the people closest to you.

You're not gonna stop me either. I go knock on another door. One of them's gonna open, and they're...

"Don't worry about it. It's all gonna work out.

"Culture is what people do when no one is around… when people don't feel safe to speak up, give feedback, they don't really believe in each other, then you can have a really toxic culture, which impacts everything. If you don't have culture in place, you have no ROI." —Kerri Burchill, PhD   Leaders everywhere are stretched, anxious, and stuck in scarcity, while cultures quietly turn toxic. We talk...
