Rezensionen

"Dr Susan Hetrick has produced a very timely, well-researched, and highly practical book on one of the most important topics in the field of management - organizational culture and its relationship with leadership. 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."

Graeme Martin, Professor of Management, University of Dundee and Vice-Chair, NHS Tayside

"Dr Hetrick makes a highly valuable contribution with this work by showing us how organizations can identify and address toxic work cultures. The practical interventions presented are tools any organization can utilize to prevent toxicity, ensure positive leadership, and when necessary, restore a healthy work environment."

Kathryn Wagner Hill, Ph.D., Center for Advanced Governmental Studies, Johns Hopkins University

"With employee engagement waning and the Great Resignation upon us, this book is a timely exploration of how harmful workplace cultures can take hold and be facilitated, either wittingly or unwittingly, by organisations or individuals. In combining extensive research with pragmatic recommendations, this book offers both an engaging diagnosis and workable remedies to bolster cultural health in the workplace."

Richard Fulham, HR Director
