Who won’t let you criticize them? Ready for another organizational red flag? Leadership that won’t allow criticism, of course!

If we don’t encourage a multiplicity of viewpoints, we are inherently narrow sighted. If you must hold the same view as leadership in order to get a say, you are being controlled. I do not like echo chambers. An organization that creates one on purpose is not only inherently fragile, but in a predicament of its own making. Again, who wont stand for criticism? Authoritarians.

Diverse thinking is a good thing. More on youtube.

A big red flag for an organization? Resistance to outside input and censored sources. Withholding information that could help others in order to maintain power is disgustingly common. More on YouTube.

Whistleblowers are often shunned. Luckily for us, it’s actually a good sign of a toxic group. When the priority is protecting the group and not the members of the group, there’s a problem. And it’s an easy one to spot!

Manipulation comes in all kinds of forms— intellectual, emotional, professional.

Look for shunning and a lack of respect for nonmembers. Looks for discrediting. If an organization lacks transparency and accountability, it’s likely toxic.
