Ducks in a Row: Bad Culture Kills
by Miki Saxon
Good culture empowers employees, juices creativity, sparks innovation and powers productivity, while bad culture kills them.
Not just lowers or slows them, but kills them dead.
Bad culture kills by instilling fear, stoking mistrust, destroying teams and building silos.

It’s your choice—it’s always your choice.
