The excerpt is a short segment from a talk/presentation by a single speaker — described as a speaker/facilitator/coach/consultant — about organizational culture. The speaker argues that while culture is made up of behaviors, those behaviors are driven by individuals' beliefs, circumstances, and knowledge, and encourages empathy by noting people act based on what they believe is best, even if others view them as a "villain."

But what interested me as a speaker and facilitator and coach and consultant is that that's not deep enough. Yes, absolutely, culture is behaviors. Culture is the sum of behaviors. But what drives those behaviors? You've wondered that, right? When you raise your eyebrow at what Susie did last month, you wonder, why would she do that? Behaviors absolutely make up our culture, but it's people's beliefs that drive their behaviors. The reality is nobody on your team woke up intending to be a villain. Even on your team. Even on your team. That person that you might see as a villain does what he or she does because they truly believe, based upon their circumstance and situation and knowledge, that that's the best thing in that moment. And the reality is that you, if you were honest, are probably a villain in somebody else's story.
