Calling people "toxic" is rarely helpful. It focuses on their impact instead of their actions. Toxicity comes in 5 flavors: disrespectful, dishonest, cutthroat, exclusionary, and abusive. A good warning pinpoints patterns of behavior that are problematic and persistent. sloanreview.mit.edu/article/… wsj.com/health/wellness/toxi…

"Building organisational culture from the middle out". Having a positive culture predicts high performance. People often think that it is senior leaders who should define/articulate/role model a healthy culture & mid level leaders who should enact/endorse it. However research newly published in @MITsmr shows the critical role mid level leaders play in developing/enriching the culture. It's through exchanges that support work teams to accomplish their tasks & the practice of daily behaviours, in line with values. It's great to see research that spotlights the contribution of middle managers: sloanreview.mit.edu/article/…. I teamed this article with a graphic by @GapingvoidArt
