Companies across the globe struggle with associate retention and toxicity. Discussions of these challenges fill up our social media and business magazines worldwide. Yet, many efforts to fix these problems seem to only work temporarily, perhaps solving for the short term, but inevitably leading to more toxicity down the road.

It's time to put an end to the toxic cultures associates can't wait to get away from. Tested through scientific study, and practical application in companies across the globe, this book introduces the Culture Recovery Framework(TM), a path designed to help leaders solve for associate retention and toxicity. This book will give you a practical guide to culture recovery, so you can build resilient, high-trust and high-accountability environments, where every associate feels valued and empowered.

About the Author

Hughes, Bryan C.: - As an author and speaker, Dr. Bryan C. Hughes provides thought leadership and research insights around culture recovery, toxic leadership, ethical leadership, organizational integrity, and associate retention. His extensive success in building and scaling impactful organizations is matched by his expertise in driving clear communication on strategy and operations, and human capital development. Bryan has a proven track record of leading high-performance teams, strengthening company culture, and fostering enhanced financial performance, YOY revenue growth, and net profit increases. He now works directly with organizations to support sustainable growth and performance through increasing leadership capacity, and on-purpose execution.Bryan has nearly three decades of practical experience, with two decades in executive leadership roles. He has seen every business model and worked in several capacities, including consulting and advising organizations in every North American time zone. Through his experience, Bryan has seen the pervasive toxicity that many companies struggle to remove, and has made it his goal to help them tackle and solve this problem. Through the academic research and practical application, he found that operational tweaks could result in minor improvements but rarely led to sustainable growth or significant change. The main blocker of operational excellence was often deeper, embedded in leadership styles and organizational culture. The result of his doctoral research created a research-backed and peer-reviewed framework-the Culture Recovery Framework outlined in this book-to heal pervasive toxicity in organizations and ultimately increase associate retention. For the past several years, Bryan has tested this framework in companies across America, successfully helping his clients heal their culture and remove toxicity.If you would like to work with Bryan to help your organization solve for associate retention and create an ethical culture, you can contact him at bryan@cleardaystrategies.com.

Praise for this book

"This transparent and authentic exploration of a timely and critical topic is exceptional. So often toxic leaders are very good at stake holder management or in other words, disguising their detrimental self-serving behaviors behind a facade that they present to senior leadership, enabling them to control the narrative and operate incognito. Toxicity provides an accessible playbook that helps identify these destructive traits and enables real change for organizations that are looking for sustainable, repeatable practices based on psychological safety and trust that will build a healthy, thriving company culture wherever they are practiced." -Dan Merrill, General Manager, LEGO Education

"An accurate depiction (of toxicity) that was very apparent in many of the acquisitions I've led throughout my 30 plus years in leadership. Extremely insightful and absolutely critical in removing a toxic work environment. An excellent read." -Bruce Wren, COO, SAS AirCare

"Toxic leadership is a topic that everyone talks about, but no one wants to confront. This book tackles it head-on with symptoms, diagnosis, and a path to recovery. A must read for those committed to organizational excellence!" -Jeff Hornberger, CEO, Residential Real Estate Council

"Too often people just take it. They explain away the bad behavior and the toxic leadership, not even realizing it's WRONG. Hughes masterfully defines toxic leadership and provides guidance on how to manage it and eliminate from your organization!" -Dr. Joe Allen, Professor of Occupational Health Psychology, University of Utah

"As ethical servant leaders our mandate is to leave the company (and people within the company) better for our stewardship. Bryan's Culture Recovery Framework is a strong tool in the toolkit towards this end and worthy of reflective consideration." -Patrick Brensinger, Former President of a $2B+ Service Company
