Have you ever seen a leader enthusiastically roll out a “best practice”–without asking whether those practices actually fit the organization?
In this episode of Talent All-Stars, Beverly Propst, SVP - Human Resources at Fortune 500 electrical and tech distributor Graybar, shares why even the most widely accepted strategies can fail if they don’t align with your company’s culture.
With 20+ years of leadership experience and a literal “seat at the table” (she joined Graybar’s board in 2009), Beverly explains how to build programs that actually stick—and what to watch out for when adapting ideas from other organizations.
She also shares:
- Her “exciting” journey from attorney to HR leadership
- How Graybar built a “promote from within” culture
- The #1 trap she sees HR teams fall into – and how to avoid it
