Ever promoted someone only to watch your firm's culture crumble? 

In this raw episode, I share one of  my biggest leadership blunders and its far-reaching consequences. 

I take you behind the scenes of our law firm's year-long struggle to recover from a toxic culture shift, sharing hard-earned wisdom that could save your practice.

Here’s what I discussed:

  • The impact of promoting the wrong leader and the warning signs I ignored.
  • How a toxic culture can develop subtly and quickly, often going unnoticed.
  • The necessity of implementing a zero-tolerance policy on toxic behavior, including a pivotal incident involving bullying.
  • The long-term benefits of cultivating a positive and collaborative atmosphere.
  • Actionable strategies for leaders to set clear expectations and maintain a healthy culture.

Listen in for real-life insights on how to prevent toxic culture from taking root in your firm—and how to fix it if it already has.
