When bad behavior happens in an organization, it's the job of the leader to address it. In this episode, how to do that with clarity and effectiveness. This is Coaching for Leaders, episode 779. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Greetings to you from Orange County, California.

This is Coaching for Leaders, and I'm your host, Dave Stehoviak. Leaders aren't born, they're made. And this weekly show helps leaders thrive at key inflection points. One of the challenges that comes up for so many leaders, certainly many of the folks in our listening audience, is how do you handle the difficult situation when there's bad behavior in the organization?

How do you address it? And how do you redirect a bit so that that bad behavior doesn't become a cultural norm? It's a challenging thing that all of us face and we can all influence this to be better. Today I'm so glad to welcome a guest who's going to help us think about this in a new way and how we can take some tangible steps to improve.
