Stop Calling It a Values Issue WHEN You Never Anchored the Standard
Episode #129 ·
Apr 9, 2026 · Host: Tammy J. Bond
Leaders love to blame “values misalignment” when teams underperform. But what if the real issue isn’t values at all?
In this episode of Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond challenges the assumption that culture is the root problem. Instead, she breaks down how the failure to define and enforce clear behavioral standards creates confusion, inconsistency, and breakdown across teams.
This episode is a direct callout to leaders who are tired of repeated performance issues—and ready to take responsibility for the standards they’ve failed to anchor.
