Irresponsible Leaders
Unhealthy Cultures
Dysfunctional culture sabotages mission, stalls change initiatives, and leads to regulatory collapse. Sometimes it destroys lives. It’s time for a change.
Join the movement of a new kind of leadership.
You've seen culture become the greatest barrier to mission delivery - making work frustrating, sometimes outright exhausting. You've seen cultural dysfunction lead to silence, failure to deliver and adapt, toxic environments, and regulatory failure. It destroys the trust of clients, investors, employees and society.
Sometimes it destroys people's lives.
Enough is enough.
We believe:
In a time of technological innovation and workplace transformation, we need responsible leaders who care deeply about the mission,
Thriving and trusted organizations require people empowered to deliver, positioned to thrive, and incentivized to act with integrity - even when costly
This requires making cultural health a priority.
We acknowledge that as leaders we play a vital role in shaping culture through what we model, encourage, overlook, or don't accept.
Change begins with us.
While we don't carry all the responsibility, we take responsibility for what we can influence. Even small changes, practiced daily, can make a big difference.
We commit to being responsible leaders building healthy cultures - through the integrity of our everyday habits.

A transformative and evidence based approach
Having witnessed firsthand the damage of destructive cultures — and examined some of the world’s most infamous corporate failures with researchers and insiders — we made it our mission to help people and companies avoid the same pitfalls.
Through seven years of research and work with hundreds of leaders, we discovered a simple truth: just as going to the gym twice a year will not make you fit, building a healthy culture requires consistent changes in leadership habits.
Culture is shaped by what leaders encourage, reward, tolerate, or ignore. These signals come not just from the top, but from leaders at every level. For example, the CEO's encouragement to speak up matters, but so does the listening practices of a country manager 10,000 kilometers away.
Our methodology uncovers root causes through deep dialogue, designs targeted interventions grounded in behavioural science, and embeds leadership habits through practice and peer learning.
Detailed in the international bestseller You Can Culture and endorsed by leading academics and Fortune 500 executives, this approach builds lasting cultural health that drives results and strengthens trust.
Watch co-founder, Tobias Sturesson, tell the captivating story that inspired our approach and the bestseller You Can Culture.
