Toxic, me? Maybe a little... or passionately?

Toxicity in leadership doesn’t always show up in spectacular ways, like a big scandal. More often, it creeps in subtly, gradually eroding motivation, undermining trust, and damaging team performance.

The most troubling part? Any one of us can slip into toxic behaviors… without even realizing it. Small normalized attitudes, careless habits, silent gestures. Interrupting “because we’re in a rush.” Ignoring an emotion “because we want to stay professional.” Or avoiding a tough conversation “to keep the peace.”
