Start with yourself to ensure everyone can receive feedback. It’s a frustration we hear all the time. “My people aren’t coachable. They’re defensive. It’s like they have a wall and just won’t listen.” We get it. One of the most frustrating human experiences is feeling ignored or unheard. And sometimes people who can’t grow aren’t in the right position.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

When we talk about building a sustainable culture, we have to move beyond tactics and address the fundamentals.

Business leaders across the globe are coming to an unexpected—and undesirable—realization: Their work cultures suck. Of course, we can’t and shouldn’t label all company cultures as toxic.
