Episode Description

What happens when your operational methodology collides with your cultural goals? What happens is: something’s gotta give. Join us as your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, links the value field (where work happens)—with the beating heart of every successful work culture: spirit (a broad equivalent to the term respect). Learn how this cultural element can work for or against your improvement goals as Dr. Galsworth shares two stories from her own deployment history. The first is about Paulette and how she and her co-workers re-defined their value field so they could drill deeper into their info deficits. The other is about Charley and the table in his value field that everyone (except Charley) wanted to toss into the trash. In this fifth show in her hero within series, Gwendolyn shares what to do/not to do when faced with grumpy people and very positive people—because they can both contribute hugely to your implementation success. Tune in/Learn more. Let the workplace speak!
