Episode Summary
Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we can accidentally enable bad behaviour within our teams.
In this episode, Ben explores three subtle but powerful ways leaders might unintentionally allow bad behaviour to grow and how to address it before it causes bigger issues.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
-
How being unavailable to your team can create opportunities for bad behaviour to go unnoticed.
-
Why addressing only the symptoms (not the real issue) can allow bad behaviour to persist.
-
The risks of focusing too much on results and overlooking how those results are achieved.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Being present physically or virtually helps you observe, support, and guide your team more effectively.
✅ Direct conversations with team members about their behaviour are essential - don’t just tweak processes and hope for the best.
✅ Results matter, but so does how you achieve them. Ignoring bad behaviour in high performers can harm team morale, collaboration, and long-term success.
