Meet the Company Killers™
Every team has them.
Not people. Not bad apples.
Behaviors.
Those sneaky little habits that creep in when pressure’s high, deadlines are tight, and “business as usual” feels easier than shaking things up. We call them the Company Killers - experts at slowing down progress, choking collaboration, and quietly draining the life out of great ideas.
The Rigid Robots
These Killers insist on “the old way,” strangling innovation. They don’t bend, they break things. Refusal to flex costs opportunities, talent, and customer trust.

The Change Crushers
Overwhelmed by uncertainty. Quick to panic. Fear-driven reactions from these Killers ripple out, slowing recovery, confusing teams, and eroding resilience when you need it most.

The Teamwork Terminators
Silos over synergy. These Killers turn collaboration into combat, making every goal a turf war. These patterns create disconnection, stall strategic initiatives, and make cross-functional work feel impossible.

The Shutdown Sheriffs
With one “no,” these Killers silence creativity and stall momentum costing you opportunities, revenue, and trust. Plans become rigid, alternative perspectives are dismissed, and people stop contributing.

The Awareness Assassins
They don’t see the problem because they are the problem. These Killers don’t recognize how their presence affects others. Trust erodes, morale crumbles and retention suffers.

The Volcano Vikings
Unexpected and unpredictable eruptions from these Killers create a culture of fear. One outburst undoes months of trust, leaving damage that slows growth and drains performance.

The Signal Slayers
Missed cues. Ignored emotions. Talking over listening. These Killers dominate without connecting. When signals are ignored, collaboration stalls and relationships suffer inside and outside the company.

The Data Demons
Data Demon behaviors rely solely on logic and numbers, sidelining the human signals that drive loyalty and trust. Decisions are made from spreadsheets alone and customers begin to feel like metrics, not partners.
