Why Respect Outshines Professionalism in Today's Workplace
Description
Originally released: August, 2024
What if being 'professional' is actually holding your workplace back? In this episode, host Russel Lolacher challenges the traditional norms and reveals why respect, not rigid professionalism, is the key to a thriving, diverse workplace.
The idea of professionalism is usually about aligning behaviours, dress codes, communication styles and work ethics around the norms of the dominant culture. This is a barrier to diversity and innovation, while promoting uniformity. Let's be respectful instead.
Russel shares real world examples of what we can do as leaders to encourage a respectful workplace and remove the roadblocks associated with being professional.
