The Impact of Leadership^® Podcast

I’ve noticed a lot of the scars I have fall into one of these three categories:

SCARS from unfair assumptions

SCARS from my emotional reactions

SCARS from broken trust

One keyword will  make the difference: CULTURE

Company culture can be defined as the set of values, beliefs, and behaviors that shape how employees interact with each other, their leaders, and the work itself in an organization.
