Three months after the toxic executive left, Maya had hired an excellent replacement and implemented new policies. So why were her strongest performers resigning? Why was the team angrier than ever?
Because she didn't understand the real timeline for healing from toxic leadership.
In this episode, I break down the actual phases teams go through when recovering from toxic leadership - and why things often get worse before they get better. This is essential information for any leader navigating team recovery.
We explore:
* Month 1-2: Shock and suspicious relief (and why early improvement is misleading)
* Month 3-4: Delayed response and regression (when things seem to fall apart)
* Month 5-6: Rebuilding trust through pattern recognition
* Month 7-9: Integration and sustainable culture building
What makes the difference between teams that heal and teams that stay fractured
If you're supporting a team through recovery from toxic leadership, this episode will help you understand what you're seeing and how to respond.
