Standards of excellence are core to a strong culture.
People in leadership and government roles, teachers, and sports coaches have one thing in common: their roles are positions of power. People look to leaders like these for inspiration and to provide guidance and direction. Just like leaders in society, if we say one thing and then do another, we may lose our team’s trust in our organization. Today, Dr. Janet Pilcher reflects on the importance of organizational values and operationalizing these values into standards of excellence.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- Why do values and standards matter in organizations?
- What are the effects of witnessing people in power living double standards?
- How can leaders build a strong culture that inspires and guides individuals?
