What ripple effects do toxic leaders create in your organization?

Create a healthier work environment on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Sean Lemson, author of "One Drop of Poison" and founder of Motivated Outcomes, shares powerful insights about how one bad leader can slowly kill your company - and what to do about it.

Listen as Dr. Joey and Sean explore:

☀️ The 10 key components of healthy culture, from stability to challenge stress

☀️ How toxic leadership archetypes like "The Peacock" and "The Chess Master" manifest

☀️ Why measuring engagement correctly reveals true cultural health

☀️ The generational impact of poor leadership on employee trust

☀️ Ways to transform toxic leadership through mindset change

Sean helps organizations build healthier cultures by addressing leadership toxicity. Now he's here to help you create a positive work culture that grows people and profits.

🔑 Key Insight: "Toxic leaders aren't necessarily bad people - they're often trying to do what they think is right within a system of misaligned incentives and incorrect leadership beliefs."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start measuring team engagement, but watch for two red flags: perfect scores and non-participation. Both indicate underlying issues.
