  • Kindness, Leadership, and the Cost of Toxic Culture

    Kindness, Leadership, and the Cost of Toxic Culture
    Jan 26 2026

    Kindness is a powerful force in leadership, well-being, and the health of any organizational culture. Dr. Chris Culver introduces the podcast by sharing formative stories from growing up in a divided family, experiencing bullying, and working under a toxic school leader who pushed him toward burnout. Drawing from his doctoral research and lived experience, Dr. Culver explains why trust, attention, and self-kindness often matter more than authority or policy, and why choosing yourself can be the most responsible leadership decision.
