Let me ask you something—have you ever worked in a team where trust felt like it was crumbling beneath you? Where whispers in the corner carried more weight than the mission you were there to achieve? If you’re nodding right now, I bet gossip played a starring role.

That’s right, if you’re a leader who gossips, it’s not just a bad habit—it’s a leadership liability. And today, we’re tackling why gossip destroys teams, how it reflects on you as a leader, and most importantly, what you can do to create a culture of trust instead.
