“A silent epidemic, a great threat to patient safety, an ugly secret in the most caring of professions, these are just a few of the ways that incivility and bullying have been referred to in the literature over the last 10 years.

“Prying into one another’s concerns, acting behind another’s back, backbiting, misrepresentation, bad temper, bad thoughts, murmuring, complaining...”
Florence Nightingale, in a letter to graduates of the Nightingale School of Nursing

“Prying into one another’s concerns, acting behind another’s back, backbiting, misrepresentation, bad temper, bad thoughts, murmuring, complaining. Do we ever think of how we bear the responsibility for all the harm that we cause in this way?”
Florence Nightingale, in a letter to graduates of the Nightingale School of Nursing

“The negative impact of incivility can be significant and far-reaching and can affect not only the targets themselves, but also bystanders, peers, stakeholders, and organizations. If left unaddressed, it may progress in some cases to threatening situations or violence.”
![Page 42: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Invisible Architecture™ is more important than bricks & mortar

Invisible Architecture is to the soul of your organization what physical architecture is to its body.
![Page 68: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
With great architects and builders, the physical construction is seamless – there is no gap between the foundation and the walls.
![Page 69: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
In great organizations the Invisible Architecture is seamless...
There is no gap between the values posted on the wall and the behaviors seen on the floor.

But when attitudes and behaviors seen in the workplace do not reflect the words on the wall, there are values-attitudes gaps...

All it takes is one toxic person to pollute the entire room
![Page 83: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)

Workplace attitude is determined by what you expect and what you tolerate…
![Page 84: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

And over time, what you tolerate will dominate over what you say you expect!

You cannot be a negative, bitter, sarcastic pickle sucker in the break room…
This place sucks

Then somehow flip an inner switch and become a compassionate caregiver in a patient’s room…

And patients see right through the fraud!

You cannot be a negative, bitter, sarcastic pickle sucker at work…
My job sucks

Chronic complaining makes you depressed and depressing, bored and boring, victimized and victimizing
![Page 96: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
When you complain you are saying three things...
![Page 97: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Something is bothering me, otherwise I wouldn’t be complaining about it.
![Page 98: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
There is nothing I can do about it, otherwise I would be taking action instead of just whining.
![Page 99: The Pickle Challenge for a Positive Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/58f2023a1a28abd33b8b4605/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
And it’s not my fault, otherwise I would be looking in the mirror instead of pointing a finger.

Can you think of a better definition for being a victim?

Caveat: You will get resistance to The Pickle Challenge.
It will be most vociferous from people who could most benefit from taking it to heart.

You can rewire the hardware by reprogramming the software!“[W]e are seeing evidence of the brain’s ability to remake itself throughout adult life, not only in response to outside stimuli, but even in response to directed mental effort. We are seeing, in short, the brain’s potential to correct its own flaws and enhance its own capabilities.”
