Leaders who borrow their worth from the room make the room less safe.
Workplace mental health is not only a wellness topic. It is a leadership, risk, culture and performance issue.
Every organisation says people are its most important asset. Most organisations have a retention problem they do not fully understand. The gap between those two statements is where a significant amount of management energy gets wasted.
Psychological safety has been housed in the wellness function in most organisations. That is the wrong place for it. It is a performance concept, not a wellbeing one.
Most organisations have a policy for managing toxic behaviour. Very few have the courage to apply it to the people who matter most.
Toxic corporate culture makes people sick. Not metaphorically. Physically and psychologically sick, in ways that persist long after a person has left the environment.
Culture does not collapse in large organisations. It erodes. Slowly, quietly, and usually long before anyone in a leadership position names what is happening.
The word accountability makes people uncomfortable. It should not. When it is used correctly, it is one of the most respectful things a leader can offer.
Most organisations have a culture statement. Most organisations also have a gap between what the statement says and what people actually do when no one is watching.
