Fixing Toxic Culture with Lewin’s Model

Your toxic workplace is actually just a solvable math problem. Organizational culture

is simply the company's personality, and if it feels off, it’s usually because

the founders hired people who act exactly like them. When management tries to pivot,

everyone resists because of fear and habit. The cheat code to fix this is Lewin’s

model: you have to unfreeze the old ways, implement the change, and then refreeze

it so it sticks. And stop trying to eliminate all stress. You actually need

the sweet spot called Eustress to hit peak performance. If you're burning out,

don't blame yourself, blame the role design.
