NOTEWORTHY QUOTES
“Psychological safety and trust are key to healthy relationships in the workplace.” – Dr. Reggie Thomas
“If you hire people who are exactly like what you already have, the organization tends to grow stagnant. But if you can bring people in who do share some of those similar core values, but at the same time, they bring a different perspective, then that’s going to give you the health that you need in an organization.” – Dr. Reggie Thomas
“Leaders are curators of culture, and I think a lot of leaders miss that.” – Dr. Reggie Thomas
