In Organizations, Respectful Behavior Doesn’t Happen Naturally

SmartBrief's new podcast, Mastering Workplace Culture, is available on all the leading platforms. Each week, it brings listeners unfiltered conversations with leaders who have transformed their organizations from the inside out. No jargon. No buzzwords. No lies.

Here are two powerful clips from its discussions with Tim Steinbeck, CEO of GRE HERC Services in Minneapolis, Minn., and David Mollitor, Jr., president and CEO of Consolidated Electrical Contractors in Lansing, Mich.

In Steinbeck's clip, he explains how challenging it was for team leaders to begin to hold everyone accountable for the new company values and behaviors. Leaders were not used to coaching values — they were used to mandating results. Misaligned team members continued to treat others disrespectfully.
