Changing An Organizational Culture That Eats French Fries for Breakfast
Organizational leaders model self-‐care and don’t ridicule it, ignore it, or give lip service
When employees are engaged in creating a culture of we-‐care or else there will be either a steak and scotch rebellion or frequent self-‐care abusers
Not a quick fix with tactics or activities, requires patience
