What leaders say matters. But what they consistently reward matters more.

In this episode of The Safety Edge Podcast, we explore how mixed leadership signals quietly shape culture — especially under pressure.

Leaders often speak clearly about safety, learning, and speaking up. But when urgency rises, different behaviors get rewarded: speed over judgment, output over reflection, compliance over challenge. Teams notice — and they adapt.

This episode examines the leadership dilemma between stated values and everyday reinforcement, and how a coaching mindset helps leaders realign behavior, restore trust, and strengthen culture when it matters most.

🎧 Listen in to explore:

• Why rewarded behavior shapes culture more than stated values
• How mixed signals erode trust and psychological safety
• The gap between leadership intent and leadership impact
• How leaders can realign signals under pressure

🎧 Listen now — and reflect on the signals your leadership sends when pressure is highest.
