In this episode of My Manager Coach, Jody unpacks the strategic power of core values—not just as feel-good slogans but as vital tools to protect your culture, clarify expectations, and filter out opportunists.

Drawing from real-life stories (including Netflix, CD &Power, and WR Properties), Jody explains how strong values create behavioral boundaries, guide hiring and promotions, and insulate your organization from cultural drift, dysfunction, and even legal risk. If you lead people and want to build a values-driven culture that scales, this is a must-listen.

Topics covered:

• Why opportunists thrive in ambiguity
• Stories of companies who live their values (and win)
• How many is too many when it comes to defining your core values
• Using values to drive hiring, discipline & recognition
• The hidden legal and cultural risks of value drift
