Leadership Hypocrisy: It's Better to Lead by Example

About This Video

Your team hears what you say, but they believe what you do.

If your leadership actions don’t align with your words, your employees won’t trust your vision—and that’s where workplace culture starts to break down.

In the full conversation (this is just a clip), Mason Duchatschek sits down with Marlene Chism, author of From Conflict to Courage, to discuss how leaders can build trust, reduce workplace chaos, and create a culture of accountability.

Marlene shares why consistency matters, how to lead by example instead of just directives, and why workplace culture should be a priority, not an afterthought.

Key Takeaways

✅ Your actions shape your culture – Employees believe behavior over words.
✅ Consistency builds trust – Leaders must align their words with their actions.
✅ Lead by example, not by force – Directives alone don’t create buy-in.
✅ Workplace culture is a choice – Leaders set the tone through daily actions.
✅ Accountability is leadership – Owning mistakes and setting clear expectations creates respect.

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that, except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
