In my experience as a manager, "toxic" means you have an ego problem. Some things to note that may help: * The goal of a discussion is an agreement everyone is comfortable with, and not proving that you are right - even if you are right. * Really listen to what your colleagues say. If what they say sounds stupid, it may be because you don't understand what they're saying, or that you don't know as much as you think you do about the problem domain * If a wrong decision was made when you advised against it, don't go back and point it out. People will remember, you saying "I told you so" makes you seem like a dick * If you do something good, don't boast, just allow people to notice

>The goal of a discussion is an agreement everyone is comfortable with, and not proving that you are right - even if you are right. That's a great way to rack up tech debt by making a lot of sub par decisions. > If a wrong decision was made when you advised against it, don't go back and point it out. People will remember, you saying "I told you so" makes you seem like a dick Are we supposed to pretend that the right decision was made and just stay the course? This is one of the few joys that makes staying a a crappy company worthwhile.
