In this episode of Scaling New Heights Leadership, host Nick Sellers discusses a subtle yet destructive force in many organizations: the silent culture killer.

This phenomenon, driven by fear of conflict, lack of psychological safety, time pressure, and overconfidence at the top, leads to suppressed truth, withheld feedback, and stunted innovation.

Nick outlines key strategies for leaders to combat this issue, including modelling openness, inviting and listening to input, creating safe spaces for truth, and normalizing healthy conflict.

Gain insights on how breaking the culture of silence can transform team dynamics, enhance performance, and foster a productive and honest workplace.

Businesses often talk about differentiation in their products, services, and relationships with customers. Creating and nurturing true openness within internal senior teams will deliver greater differentiation than can be imagined and will be felt everywhere.
