What we’re seeing in many workplaces isn’t a rough patch—it’s a pattern.
Behaviors once rare—gossip, cliques, eye rolls, “not-my-job” attitudes—are becoming the norm.
Misunderstandings are seen as malicious. Trust is eroding. Morale is crumbling.

🧠 Most workplace leaders aren’t refusing to address dysfunction.
They’re overwhelmed, undertrained — and afraid to make the wrong move.

A healthy workplace cannot be sustained through silence and assumptions. The fact that no one’s speaking up often speaks volumes. When something feels “off”, strong leaders pause and check in with their team, not shying away from what they might hear.
