You have a culture of accommodation:
* Saying "yes" as a default internally
* Explaining away poor performance
* Justifying hires that don't match your values
* Allowing everyone to have their own interpretation of your values
* Withholding feedback and avoiding all conflict
* Trying to be nice and make everyone happy all the time
Founder of ProfitWell Patrick Campbell says, "It feels like the path of least resistance, but it creates more resistance than you'd think."
The road to an unhealthy, low-performance culture of accommodation is paved with the best intentions.
