How to sabotage your own business (2/6)
Have an employee who hits the numbers but breaks every rule in the book? Undermines colleagues, tramples team morale and fuels a toxic work environment?
Promote him/her! After all, performance trumps integrity, right? Why let a few “ethical values” get in the way of efficiency? And when your top talent starts walking out the door, just blame them: they obviously were nott “tough enough.”
But here is the truth: a strong, values-driven culture is not built overnight. It requires time, intention and real commitment from leadership at every level.
If you are looking to achieve performance through integrity, not in spite of it, we are ready to support you.
