As we dive into his latest book, 'Cultural Rules', we explore the profound impact culture has on the success of a company, and how to navigate the challenges of creating and sustaining a healthy one, especially amidst the pressures of a pandemic. Uncover the disconnect between what leaders say versus what they prioritize and learn how to escape the quicksand of busyness, fear, fatigue, and aimlessness.
