Exploring how tolerated dysfunction, bias, sexism, racism, double standards, secrecy, politics, and selective accountability become part of an organization’s culture, whether leadership admits it or not. This episode challenges leaders to move beyond values language and ask the harder question: what are we tolerating that is costing the organization its trust, talent, credibility, and future?

If this episode made you think about what your organization has been tolerating, I want to hear from you. Connect with me on LinkedIn at Laurice Walker and send me the word ‘HALL.’ Tell me what part of this conversation hit home. And if you’re a leader listening to this and you know there is a pattern your organization needs to confront, this is your invitation to stop managing the optics and start naming the truth.
