Employees tend to mirror what they see, the cues they see from leadership. The signals that the leader send,
00:00:06
intentionally or unintentionally. And it frankly, I think it's the unintentional
00:00:11
signals that end up having a big impact. Because we most of us are conscious of the intentional things that we're
00:00:18
sending and we're careful to regulate those. It's the unconscious things that
00:00:22
really have the biggest impact because we're not paying as much attention to
00:00:27
them.
