Gnarly Kool-Aid

There’s a dangerous shift that happens when strong corporate culture turns into blind devotion.

It starts subtly. A shared vision morphs into dogma. Healthy alignment turns into forced compliance. Before long, team members stop thinking critically and start sipping the Kool-Aid—and an organizational "cult" is born.

When a company reaches this point, it doesn't just stall; it begins a slow, self-inflicted implosion.
