Replying to LO23276 --

Dear Roy and John,

I have been asking myself why it is that organisations seem to be getting
more and more toxic as time goes on. Is it just because I didn't notice
earlier, when I was younger and less experienced? Or is there something
else at play here?

What I do think, is that at the end of the day, our role is to help people
de-toxify organisations. We need to do this with deep creativity. Find
new ways, together, to shift the organisational paradigm away from the
toxic pain to the healthy pain of learning, growing and becoming.

Best regards,
