"Good culture" or “bad culture” – wrong choice.

We love to label things in extremes. A workplace is either amazing or toxic. A leader is either inspiring or controlling. Our strategy is either brilliant or doomed.

But real life doesn’t work that way.

Take your culture, for example.

Most organizations or teams are a mix of contradictions – strengths and flaws, progress and setbacks.

Chasing a perfect culture is not only impossible but often backfires.

So, how can you fix that?

👉 By accepting that culture is messy, not perfect. Embrace both the good and the bad. Stop fighting imperfection, and enjoy the ride.
