On today's Episode, I chatted with Professor Richard Gardner, Assistant Professor of Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. During this awesome conversation we talk about the "dark" side of corporate culture. We discuss how imposter syndrome, social comparison and vulnerability creates and contributes to fostering healthy and toxic work cultures. The conversation is so rich. We also discuss how reward systems and performance tools reinforce culture and how the strategic processes companies undergo to define and live their values, is what ultimately impacts a company's bottom line and retention. Honestly, this is a must listen. We get real poetic here, as Professor Gardner asserts that creating corporate culture is as intentional as the brush stroke of an artist and that to truly build a culture of consensus, it requires us to tune into our own personal agency of how our actions and inactions both serve to create and contribute culture.
