“Culture isn’t about perks or slogans. It’s about people and the principles that guide them.”

In this episode, Tony Ferraro, Director of Coaching at Floyd Consulting, breaks down The Culture Solution by Matthew Kelly and shares what more than 1,500 culture assessments reveal about today’s workplaces. He talks about the six principles of a dynamic culture, and why mission consistently ranks highest, why hiring with rigor is often overlooked, and how overcommunicating the plan keeps teams aligned. Tony explains why simplicity makes mission statements powerful, how scorecards give A-players the clarity they crave, and why coaching conversations are a gift that saves leaders time and builds trust.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why simple, clear mission statements drive stronger culture
• How disciplined hiring decisions shape long-term success
• Why overcommunication creates alignment and avoids “shiny object” distractions
