Here are some clear warning signs of a dysfunctional work culture: No clear organizational vision or set of values, all information to the board runs through the CEO, fighting among leadership, debate and challenge are not encouraged, and limited transparency into organizational decision-making. Others include complacency and resistance to discuss culture, bad news is not shared and employees do not feel comfortable reporting incidents, strong focus on individual results or a "get it done at all costs" attitude, high employee turnover rates by business unit, race, age, gender, function, etc., and limited transparency on factors for promotion or success.
