Hard no.
This rollercoaster was made almost entirely from timber.
And people were happily getting on it.... I was 100% not one of them.
But it did make me think about something I hear from teams quite a lot.
- Our culture is toxic.
- We need to start again.
- We need different people in that team.
Basically: burn it down and rebuild.
And sometimes, yes, something really does need a full reset.
But not always.
Sometimes what looks shaky just needs a lot more care, attention and maintenance than anyone has actually been giving it.
This rollercoaster is still standing because people check it, fix it, reinforce it and keep an eye on the bits that are starting to wear.
Culture is a bit like that too.
Trust can be repaired.
Expectations can be reset.
Tough conversations can be had.
Behaviours can actually can change.
But none of that happens by accident.
Sometimes the answer isnโt ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป.

... 100% still not getting on the rollercoaster though.๐ซฃ
