And yet organizations do not become toxic overnight. They do not consciously set out to break rules and regulations, nor do they actively seek wrongdoing. This book defines toxic culture, explains how toxic cultures emerge over time, and provides practical approaches supported by in-depth research for overcoming a toxic culture at the individual, team, and organizational level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePragmatic and applicable, the book provides a call to action that can be applied in any type of organization.

Her focus on ‘the dark side’ is refreshing in differing from many of the practitioner playbooks in this field which begin from the premise that strong culture and leadership are typically positive. Instead, she argues that you can have ‘too-much-of-a-good-thing’ – that so-called strong cultures and leadership can often turn toxic and we can learn more from these kind of cases than those that characterise the ‘culture-excellence’ literature. In my work as a researcher, consultant, and non-executive board member, this book will be high on my list of recommended reading to students, clients, and colleagues as a source of useful theory and ideas on how to analyse key organizational problems and build healthy workplaces.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraeme Martin\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Management, University of Dundee and Vice-Chair, NHS Tayside\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dr Hetrick makes a highly valuable contribution with this work by showing us how organizations can identify and address toxic work cultures.
