Your team doesn’t need a superhero. It needs someone who listens.

In this refreshingly honest and insightful episode, Lindsay MacDuff, the Culture Colonel, is joined by organisational psychologist and bestselling author Zena Everett, whose book 'Badly Behaved People: How to Deal with Idiots at Work' is equal parts hilarious and scathing -because sometimes the idiot in the workplace… is us.

Together, they explore what really drives dysfunction in teams, from silence and assumption - to poor leadership and power hoarding. Zena shares powerful reflections on how psychological safety gets eroded, why imposter syndrome is more common than we think, and how to step back and get curious before reacting.

This is not your typical chat about workplace culture. It’s a call to slow down, reflect, and take responsibility for how we show up. Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to survive one, this episode is a smart, bold reminder that culture isn’t a vibe... it’s a choice.
