Most leaders think they’re being respectful. But intention and impact are not the same thing. Dr. Julie Pham joined Dr. Lola Adeyemo on a recent episode of Workplaces That Work podcast to dig into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in professional life: What respect actually looks like at work, and why so many teams get it wrong.
The core problem? Without a shared understanding of respect, even well-meaning leaders can create friction, erode trust, and leave team members feeling unseen — all without realizing it.
- In this conversation, Julie and Dr. Lola explore:
- How misaligned expectations quietly create tension on teams
- The role of curiosity in stronger leadership and team dynamics
- Why good intentions don’t guarantee good impact
- Practical ways to build shared understanding across diverse teams
If you lead people — or work alongside them — this episode will challenge how you think about respect and how you practice it every day.
