Summary
Toxic culture doesn't happen overnight. It creeps in through disengagement, passive leadership, and leaders who don't understand what their people actually need to thrive. Ron Cooper, a former Air Force fighter pilot turned human behavior consultant, has spent 30+ years leading organizations and helping leaders eliminate cynical, passive, and toxic work cultures. He uses personality insights (DISC) and principled leadership to increase retention, boost productivity, and build a reputation people actually want to work for. This conversation gives you a practical framework for diagnosing what's broken and fixing it – before your best people leave. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation.
