Bad habits are easy to form and even harder to change. That goes for individuals and it can also apply to teams. Left unchecked, bad habits become a part of your company's culture and can damage productivity and morale on your teams. They can even lead to company destroying scandals. If you look around your company and see parts of your culture you'd like to change, fear not; culture change is hard, but it's not impossible.

Deep down, you probably know that both of these are not the right approach; they're two ends of a spectrum. On one end, a manager is being way too rigid in their approach, which causes you to have an non-diverse team that may be afraid to be creative around you if it doesn't fit "your way.
