Perhaps passive voice isn’t as annoying to you as you claim. There is a difference between writing passively and using passive voice.

- ativzzz 6y ago> and too much tolerance for it is bad for an organization Passive again! "An organization tolerating it too much is bad" is active :)
- motohagiography 6y agoThe intended more-active would be "A leader who tolerates too much of it harms their organization," so it doesn't always transpose.
