Ollie on Work Melissa Daimler - Culture lessons from Adobe, Twitter & WeWork
In today's episode, we talk about culture - what does it mean, how do we define and develop it within organisations, and how is this likely to change as the way we work continues to evolve?
My guest is ideally placed to advise on this subject as she's spent almost two decades working within some iconic companies, which have achieved tremendous success and significant growth. At the same time, she's also seen how some get it wrong.
For over fifteen years, Melissa Daimler led learning and development at Adobe and Twitter before moving to WeWork for a year to head up their talent team. She's now a consultant and advisor to various businesses, large and small, and a thought-leader on all things HR, learning and, of course, culture.
We had a great chat about the connection between culture and strategy, the role of managers as coaches, the importance of a shared culture across an organisation (however large), and why it's critical to treat culture as something you do, not something you have.
