Organizational culture has become a buzzword like AI, NFT or Bitcoin—everyone is talking about it but very few people know how it actually works. In this episode, we explain what organizational culture really is, and how it shapes the success of individual employees and your company as a whole.

We’ll take a look at real world examples of excellent organizational culture at work, hear expert opinions on the science of employee motivation, how to shape a strong company culture and actionable steps you can take to start transforming yours.

Featured in this episode are Neel Doshi, Margaret Heffernan, Dr. Curtis Jones and Karen Borchert.
