We wrap up the Culture Alignment dimension in our seven-part mini-series on Creating Alignment with Your People by exploring the final piece — Non-Negotiables.
In this episode of Building a Clear Authentic Brand, I explain why defining what you won’t tolerate is just as important as defining what you value. You’ll learn how to identify the behaviors and attitudes that erode trust, damage culture, and create friction — and how calling them out brings clarity, accountability, and consistency to your organization.
Because great culture isn’t just about what you promote — it’s about what you protect.
