Show Notes
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Culture is shaped from the top, not the bottom, and is influenced by the consistency & behavior of leaders.

- Fulfillment and meaning in work can be achieved by attaching oneself to a larger purpose in the organization.
[8:09] Talent leaves companies that promote conformity, hindering growth.
[13:20] A culture of conformity is built from the top down. Leaders should be authentic to their true personality to inspire a following, rather than conforming to a charismatic leader who may have a different personality.
