Earning the Right to Grow RR Living’s Culture — Not ‘Fixing’ It Overnight
Culture isn’t something you overhaul overnight — and it isn’t something that’s broken just because leadership changes.
In a recent Forbes article, RR Living CEO Melanie French shares her perspective on why the most meaningful cultural change starts with listening, not fixing. Real culture lives in the everyday experiences of people — how decisions are made, how mistakes are handled, and whether voices are truly heard.
Melanie believes leaders must first earn trust by understanding what already works before guiding evolution. By removing fear, empowering teams, and building with the people already in place, culture grows naturally — and sustainably.
At RR Living, this approach has shaped how we lead, how we support our teams, and how we serve our residents every day. Culture isn’t declared from the top down. It’s built together.
