Culture Is Strategy: Building Alignment, Autonomy, and Trust in Leadership with Mike James Ross


Listen Later

I sit down with Mike James Ross to explore why "culture eats strategy for breakfast" and, more importantly, how culture is strategy when approached with intention and alignment. Mike shares practical wisdom on creating thriving organizational cultures, emphasizing the power of principles-based structures over rigid rules.


We discuss the critical differences between consensus and alignment, the role of autonomy in empowering teams, and why non-action is still a choice that impacts your organization's trajectory. Drawing analogies from sports to leadership, Mike illustrates how trust and intentionality drive inclusion, retention, and better performance.


Whether you're leading a multinational corporation or building a small team, this conversation will challenge how you think about culture as a strategic choice.
