Management consulting provided by the Forbes publication clearly asserts that it is toxic work cultures that are far more harmful than individual dissidents or non- performers in organizations. It is a work culture riddled with employees who fear rather than those who are motivated. The staff eventually ends up underperforming. There is competition over unnecessary aspects leading to cross-team as well as intra-team tension or dysfunction. Knowledge remains in silos due to the lack of collaboration. Targets are often missed as employees cannot dedicate their efforts towards the actual work. Systemic thinking must thus be applied across organizations.
