In this episode, your host Josh Levine speaks to the Chief of Staff at Microsoft, Emily Griffin.
Josh and Emily discuss how culture needs to come into alignment with a company's mission. Culture needs to be approached with a human-focused design, which takes deliberate culture design. Focusing on people is vital, and translating and auditing company culture quickly requires a mindset that focuses on how your team thrives.
Emily shares that her approach to culture includes a "welcome, belong, and grow" attitude towards her team. The role of Chief of Staff means you have to consider every step of an employee's journey with a company.
