Calling all my data-heads out there. You’re going to love this episode.

Earlier this year, I came across an article in the “MIT Sloan Management Review” that fascinated me—freaked me out, even.

It was titled “Toxic Culture Is Driving the Great Resignation,” and it was written by Donald Sull, Charles Sull, and Ben Zweig.

In the article, they write how between April and September of 2021, a record number of American employees—24 million of them—left their jobs. So this trio analyzed 34 million online employee profiles in search of the reasons behind this mass exodus.

What’d they find? Well, as the article’s title suggests, “a toxic corporate culture is by far the strongest predictor of industry-adjusted attrition and is 10 times more important than compensation in predicting turnover. Our analysis found that the leading elements contributing to toxic cultures include failure to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion; workers feeling disrespected; and unethical behavior.”

Donald and Charlie join me today on “Dare to Lead,” and we take a deep dive into the data, looking at other predictors of employee turnover, the costs of a toxic work culture, and what leaders can do—in the short term, at least—to boost retention.
