What Leaders Permit Becomes the Culture.with Dr. Maurine Kwende
This week on the Empowerment Minutes Podcast, we continue our August series, Culture by Design: What Leaders Reward, Permit, and Model, with What Leaders Permit Becomes the Culture. In this episode, Dr. Maurine Kwende explores how unaddressed behaviors can quietly become accepted norms. From missed commitments and weak accountability to poor communication and overfunctioning, what leaders allow to continue can shape how a team learns to operate. This week’s action: Identify one behavior you have noticed but not addressed and ask yourself: If this pattern continues for another year, what will it teach people about how we work here? If overfunctioning is a pattern you recognize in your own leadership, join Dr. Maurine for the upcoming live strategic briefing for senior-level women leaders: The Overfunctioning Trap: How Capable Leaders Quietly Lose Their Influence The briefing will explore how overfunctioning develops, how it affects leadership capacity and influence, and what needs to shift when too much responsibility keeps flowing back to you.
