Have you ever wondered why some workplaces thrive while others struggle, despite having similar talent and resources? The secret might be hiding in plain sight – it's your culture, and contrary to popular belief, it's not just HR's responsibility.
In this eye-opening conversation with Brett Hoogeveen, founder of Better Culture, we dive deep into what truly makes workplace environments flourish from the ground up. Brett challenges the conventional wisdom that culture is something managed exclusively from the top, sharing his revolutionary "20 Tenets of Culture" framework that empowers every single employee to actively shape their workplace experience.
You'll discover why "assume positive intent" might be the most transformative mindset shift your team can make, potentially eliminating workplace drama overnight. Brett reveals the surprising truth that "pride" – helping employees feel proud of their company and knowing the company is proud of them – is the metric most strongly correlated with cultural health, yet rarely addressed in leadership programs. For founders scaling their businesses, you'll learn crucial strategies for maintaining your cultural identity beyond your personal influence as you grow.
Perhaps most valuable is Brett's insight on coachability: "The people that are most coachable are people that ask for coaching. They don't just consider it, they're always saying, 'Hey, I'm working on this. What do you think?'" This mindset, he explains, is the foundation for success in any endeavor, professional or personal.
Whether you're a founder trying to scale without losing your company's soul, a manager working to build a more cohesive team, or an employee wanting to contribute more meaningfully to your workplace, this conversation offers practical wisdom you can implement immediately.
