35. 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
