		<description>A good read!

toxic culture + agile = IT meltdown 

Toxic sounds rather harsh, but it can be manifested through (bad) &quot;habits&quot; such as:
 * lack of support for learning at team level,
 * hiding broken builds,
 * ignoring  roadblocks, 
 * self-interest,
etc.

&quot;...Toxic cultures that attempt to transition to collaboration methods based on trust and open communication will almost always fail without outside intervention and recognition of this reality… 
Agile will simply reveal and accelerate the very conditions that already exists...&quot;
