Will You Accept the Challenge?

Northies,

I like the sign at the airport that says, “If you see something, say something.” I get it! It’s easy to understand that if I see something odd, I need to alert authorities.

In the days ahead, when you catch a colleague doing something that contributes to a positive culture in your station, I want to ask you to point it out. Say something. Thank them. Emulate them.

Examples may be:

• When they boldly share their faith with listeners or callers;

• When they bring joy to the workplace, even when working through a challenge;

• When they handle conflict biblically, going first to the person with whom there is disagreement; or

• When they display humility in the midst of a significant accomplishment

Building a healthy culture at your station is not one person’s responsibility, it is everyone’s. Beth Wilmeth, accomplished head Volleyball coach at UNW (who by the way are #5 in the country), said to our managers a couple of weeks ago, “Culture is like a baby. You have to feed it every day and you can never take your eyes off of it.”

Thanks for doing your part!

Jason
