Description:
In this powerful episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast, George Couros reflects on how a single individual can influence a toxic culture without becoming part of it. Drawing from his visit to the Charleston County School District with Superintendent Anita Huggins and a personal story from an LA Fitness gym, George explores the small yet meaningful actions that shape environments.
Listeners will learn:
-
How leaders model cultural change through consistent actions
-
Why personal values matter more than fitting in with the crowd
-
How small decisions, like re-racking weights or picking up trash, can lead to systemic transformation
This episode provides practical inspiration for educators, leaders, and anyone seeking to cultivate a better culture, beginning with themselves.
