Negativity is a Killer
About this episode
Wayne Robertson discusses how negativity infiltrates teams and offers strategies for leaders to combat it.
Negativity doesn’t crash into your team — it creeps in. One eye-roll. One passive-aggressive comment. One “this won’t work.” And suddenly morale dips and productivity follows. In this episode of Ignoring the Rules , Wayne Robertson breaks down why negativity spreads so fast, how leaders accidentally fuel it, and how to flip the switch before it drags your project down. This isn’t about forced positivity. It’s about using energy as a performance strategy. Because culture isn’t accidental — it’s led.
