Today, we’re diving into a question that strikes at the heart of workplace dynamics: can a truly great workplace happen without a team-wide effort, or is it solely the leader's responsibility? We draw inspiration from Tom Geraghty's insightful perspective from a recent conversation: "A great workplace is worth working for." We’re flipping the usual script on who drives work dynamics and culture. Spoiler: everyone does - for better or worse! We explore why having clear, candid conversations about workplace culture isn’t just nice-to-have, but essential. And how sudden shifts, like unexpected return-to-office mandates, can impact employee morale and trust.

Inspired by Adam Grant’s "Think Again," we tackle the importance of challenging old assumptions and encouraging tough conversations. From small improvements that open the door to big changes, to stories from our own clients on the power of leading by example, this episode is underpinned with practical advice. We’ll reveal how safe, respectful dialogue can turn potential conflict into a powerful learning experience. We unlock what it takes to build a workplace where everyone feels invested, valued, and able to thrive. Whether you’re a leader or a team player, there’s something here for you.
