Relationships at Work - a trust-driven leadership podcast How Leadership Can Stop Investing in Cultural Debt
Originally released: June, 2024
In this episode of Relationships at Work, communications and leadership nerd (and host) Russel Lolacher discusses the causes and answers to cultural debt.
Technical debt is a common term in software development to explain growing issues caused by not properly addressing problems. By only implementing "band-aid" solutions, the root problems only continue to grow and fester. Cultural debt is the same in that organizational issues unaddressed or avoided, will just poison the company little by little over time until it's not something that can be fixed anymore.
Russel provides examples of how we invest in cultural debt and the areas we can pay attention to to avoid it. Join us as we discuss.
