What indicators reveal problems in a healthy command climate?

A healthy command climate is shown by trust, open communication, and accountability. When people trust leaders and each other, speak up without fear, and take responsibility for actions, the climate is healthy. Conversely, signs that there are problems include fear of speaking up, harassment, high turnover, and low engagement—clear signals that people don’t feel safe or valued. Productivity alone doesn't prove a healthy climate, and no feedback at all would indicate a dysfunctional environment. So the best answer points to the presence of trust, open communication, and accountability as the foundation, with the listed negative indicators signaling issues.
