For all our coffee lovers, imagine your organization’s leadership culture as a finely brewed cup of coffee. When done right, it tastes rich, distinct, and pure. But when you mix in different types of beans or even a splash of almond milk and half and half, that delicious cup starts to quickly turn into an off-putting drink.

Similarly, as your team grows and new leaders join your organization, each bringing their own “flavor,” the leadership culture can become diluted and fragmented—less bold, less recognizable, and less impactful.

In this episode, we explore what happens when leadership culture loses its essence, why it happens, and how to protect what makes your organization thrive.

Ramona breaks down:

- Why newly hired leaders often stick to their proven playbooks instead of assessing the new company's approach

- How remote work makes it harder for leaders to pick up on the unwritten rules and norms

- What happens when different managers run their teams in completely opposite ways

- Specific solutions that actually work, with real examples from companies who got it right

This episode is perfect for anyone bringing in new leaders, joining a new company as a lateral hire, or trying to keep their leadership team aligned through growth.
