288 | 10 Culture Builders Every Leader Needs to Know

Last week, we talked about Culture Busters—those subtle cracks that can quietly corrode a healthy team.
This week, we’re flipping the script.

In this episode of the Lead Culture Podcast, Jenni Catron unpacks 10 Culture Builders—everyday leadership behaviors that may seem simple, but when practiced with intention, have the power to transform your team culture.

From celebrating the people who embody your values, to training managers who understand the sacred work of leadership, to cultivating clarity at every level—these are the habits that shape high-performing, people-centered teams.

Whether you’re an executive, team lead, or emerging manager, this episode will help you recognize what’s working, realign what’s not, and re-engage your team with purpose.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize and reinforce values in action
• Encourage candid and respectful communication
• Create clarity around roles, expectations, and decisions
• Host purposeful meetings with clear mandates
• Equip your managers to lead people well
• Build rhythms of connection, celebration, and feedback
• Make leadership development a priority—for everyone
