Building and sustaining a positive culture involves creating an environment where people feel valued, respected, and motivated to perform. Leaders model desired behaviors, reinforce organizational values, and hold themselves and others accountable.

Self-management ensures leaders maintain consistency, reflect on their impact, and adapt behavior appropriately.
