I often hear clients describe their corporate culture as 'nice'. When I ask them to elaborate, I hear responses like: “It is friendly,” or “We rarely have conflict.” Then the skeletons come out of the closet: “We’re nice, but a little passive-aggressive at times.” In these sorts of cultures, workers don’t necessarily want to provide honest feedback, and there tends to be little push back when people don't agree, for fear of hurting relationships.
