In this 'Meet the Gurus' discussion, you get to hear from Catherine Mattice about the root causes of toxic workplace cultures and the practical strategies organizations can use to build environments grounded in trust, accountability, and civility.

• Why leaders allow toxic high performers to go unchecked and how that behavior spreads through an organization
• The hidden financial costs of turnover and burnout that never appear on a profit and loss statement
• Why trust is the foundational issue Catherine finds in 100% of the client organizations she works with
• How to identify the early warning signs that a workplace culture is burning out
• Strategies for creating psychological safety and drawing out quieter voices in meetings and training settings
• Why leaders must go beyond executive reports and practice direct, walk-around engagement at every level
• A look at Catherine's new book, Navigating a Toxic Workplace for Dummies, published by Wiley
