Ep.746 - The Praising & Shaming of Behaviors
People will begin behaviors that are praised. ...and stop the behaviors that are shamed... We never blame people! We blame cultures, behaviors, systems and processes, but we are very clear about what cultures, behaviors, systems, and processes are right, and which ones are wrong. People can then clearly choose which they want to be a part of. It is then their choice. They can rise to the standard or leave. No one should even have the ability to endure or hide below the line. This works as long as it is delivered in a non-toxic environment: We never target people or companies. We never specifically shame a person or company. We never punish people. We never accuse or offend. We: Discuss behaviors Shout-out the right behavior Do everything out of respect Win people over with love If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.
