Meet Your New Boss: An Algorithm
From ride-hailing services to warehouses to hiring platforms, algorithms are increasingly taking on the role of manager. What does this mean for worker autonomy and meaningful engagement with work? On this episode of The Culture Kit, hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava interview Lindsey Cameron, assistant professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, about the research insights she gained from getting behind the wheel as a ride-hailing driver. Cameron discusses the cultural aspects of gig work, the “good bad job” paradox, and strategies for fostering equity and worker dignity in an increasingly algorithm-driven world.Main takeaway from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Lindsey Cameron :Keep humans at the center.

The Dishwasher Divide: How to Decode Tight and Loose Cultures
Why do some workplaces enforce strict rules while others never seem to start a meeting on time? What happens when a rule-following “Order Muppet”—think Kermit the Frog—pairs up with a “Chaos Muppet” like Cookie Monster? And what does how you load the dishwasher reveal about your cultural mindset?In this episode of The Culture Kit, hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava welcome Dr. Michele Gelfand, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and pioneer of the “tight-loose” framework for analyzing culture. Gelfand, a cross-cultural psychologist, reveals how invisible cultural forces shape behavior across nations, organizations, and even households, offering a powerful lens to understand why some groups thrive with structure while others flourish with freedom. The conversation unpacks how companies navigate cultural challenges during crises like the pandemic, mergers, and the remote work revolution. Gelfand shares tools for leaders to identify when their organization has become too rigid or too lax, and strategies for achieving “tight-loose ambidexterity—a balance of accountability and empowerment that drives success.The full transcript of this episode is available at haas.org/culture-kit.3 main takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Michele Gelfand:Cultural tightness and looseness exist on a spectrum. This pattern appears at all levels from nations to organizations to families, often developing in response to external threats or coordination needs.Both extremes can be problematic for organizations. Companies that become too tight risk stifling creativity and adaptability, while those that become too loose might lack accountability and coordination. “Tight-loose ambidexterity” balances empowerment with accountability for sustainable success.Leaders can strategically adjust cultural tightness. By identifying which specific domains need structure versus flexibility, organizations can adapt to changing circumstances. This includes using "flexible tightness" in safety-critical areas while maintaining looseness in creative domains, or implementing the "tight-loose-tight" model with clear expectations, freedom in execution, and accountability for results.Show Links:Michele Gelfand's website“Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World,” By Michele Gelfand, 2018.“The relationship between cultural tightness–looseness and COVID-19 cases and deaths: a global analysis.” By Michele Gelfand, et al.

IBM’s Nickle LaMoreaux on how AI helped HR put people first
IBM Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Nickle LaMoreaux is helping to steer the tech giant through the fastest change she’s seen in her two-decade career. In this interview with UC Berkeley Haas professors Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava, she shares how IBM’s bold shift to AI-powered HR helped free up her human team to better support the company’s 275,000 global employees. IBM’s digital AI agent now handles 11 million interactions annually with a 94% resolution rate, and employee satisfaction has soared. LaMoreaux makes the case that this digital transformation has enabled her team to focus on high-value work like leadership coaching and complex problem-solving. She discusses how domain expertise has become more important than ever.3 main takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Nickle LaMoreaux:HR should lead by example before asking others to change. Leaders create a lot more credibility by transforming their own function first. Be intentional about AI adoption: What works for another company might not fit your culture or business needs. Focus on solving real problems rather than following trends.HR is uniquely positioned to guide organizations through AI integration, balancing business goals with employee readiness. It’s critical for HR to make sure employees are prepared while maintaining cultural values.

How to Cultivate the Human-AI Sweet Spot for Innovation
How can leaders put AI to work without stifling human creativity and innovation? Berkeley Haas organizational culture experts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava are back for season 3 of The Culture Kit! The season kicks off with Hila Lifshitz, a Professor of Management at Warwick Business School and head of The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network. She’s also a visiting faculty member at Harvard University’s Lab for Innovation Science (LISH). Jenny, Sameer, and Hila dive into her pioneering research on open innovation at NASA, revealing how they transitioned to an open innovation model and the significant cultural shift it required. They also discuss new research with fashion company H&M that revealed a common pitfall when implementing AI, and how to avoid it. 3 main takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Hila LifshitzThink like a scientist and use an experimental mindset rather than an optimization mindset. Managers should understand that we’re still in the early days of AI and be flexible to how these tools might fit into their organizations.Keep pushing on the expertise of your people: Ask them what they are good at, what they want to be good at, and how the organization can set them up for success.Allocate resources for this expertise: How can the organization lean on these areas of expertise to push the boundaries of innovation even further—while using AI for lower-level tasks?Show LinksHila Lifshitz on LinkedinDismantling Knowledge Boundaries at NASA: The Critical Role of Professional Identity in Open Innovation, by Hila Lifshitz, Administrative Science QuarterlyNavigating the Jagged Technological Frontier: Field Experimental Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality, by Fabrizio Dell'Acqua, Saran Rajendran, Edward McFowland III, Lisa Krayer, Ethan Mollick, François Candelon, Hila Lifshitz, Karim R.

How to Combat the Hidden Gender Biases that Can Make Your Culture Unfriendly to Women
Despite efforts to eliminate gender bias at work, women still face barriers their male colleagues don’t. How can companies today identify whether gender bias has crept into their organization and create cultures that are supportive of women?On this episode of The Culture Kit, hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava are joined by Laura Kray, a professor at Berkeley Haas and the faculty director of the Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership. Laura has been studying the psychological barriers that hold women back at work for decades. Her work sheds light on the hidden biases that persist today. Jenny, Sameer, and Laura chat about the perceived differences between male and female leaders in terms of power versus status, as well as how age plays into how women are perceived. Laura discusses her research debunking the notion that pay disparities between men and women come from differences in negotiation skills and shares strategies for business leaders to uncover and correct inequities. 3 Main Takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Laura Kray:Be open minded to the possibility that gender bias may have crept into your company’s culture.Engage in systematic tracking and auditing of things like pay and performance reviews and adopt a data-driven approach to correcting inequities.Be a confronter rather than a bystander.

How Tribal Instincts Can Bring People Together
“Tribalism” has a generally negative reputation these days. It’s often used to refer to an us-versus-them mentality, or a culture that’s divisive and exclusionary. But that perception, according to cultural psychologist Michael Morris, “could not be more inaccurate as a description of what human tribal instincts are. They're instincts for solidarity, not for hostility.” On this episode of The Culture Kit, hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srviastava interview Michael Morris, a professor at Columbia Business School, about his new book Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts That Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together. Jenny, Sameer, and Michael discuss how tribal instincts allowed humans to break away from the primate back, and how these deeply ingrained instincts show up in organizations today. They also delve into modern and historical examples of leaders utilizing tribalism to adapt culture and even heal rifts.3 Main Takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Michael Morris:Leaders can recognize and harness the three main types of tribal psychology:The Peer Code – This is the impulse to match the behavior of the people around us.These norms allow for the smooth functioning of human interaction and are the basis for collaboration.The Hero Code – This is the emulation of those with status or prestige. This instinct is triggered by symbols.The Ancestor Code – This is the curiosity and urge to maintain the traditions and customs of past generations. This instinct is triggered by ceremonies and rituals.Show Links:Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts That Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together, by Michael MorrisMichael Morris’ Website“A Language-Based Method for Assessing Symbolic Boundary Maintenance between Social Groups.” By Anjali Bhatt, Amir Goldberg, and Sameer B.

Should Corporate Leaders Speak Out on Social and Political Issues?
Should corporate leaders speak out on social and political issues? And if they decide to do so, what’s the best approach?On this episode of The Culture Kit, hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava chat with Matt Kohut, a leadership communications expert, about his new book Speaking Out: The New Rules of Business Leadership Communications. Jenny, Sameer, and Matt dig into historical examples of corporations and politics colliding, the potential pros and cons of deciding to weigh in on social issues, and strategies for business leaders to evaluate risk and maintain accountability when deciding to speak out. This episode’s question came from Laszlo Bock, co-founder of Humu and former Senior Vice President of People Operations at Google. 3 Main Takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Matt Kohut:Should you take a position at all? This should always be the first step before deciding what the position is or how to communicate it.Mission relevance: What are your organization’s values and how will taking a stance on an issue align with those values?Evaluate risk: How might this position potentially backfire?
