Gossip Kills Culture

Gossip is the silent assassin of great teams.
It breeds distrust. Fuels insecurity. Destroys morale.
And leaders who ignore it are passively approving it.
If someone comes to you with gossip, ask:
“Have you spoken to them directly?”
Then stop the conversation cold.
When you model zero tolerance, others follow.
I help leaders build cultures where trust thrives and dysfunction dies — in just 6 months.
