Most leaders think they know their culture.
Most are wrong.
In this episode of The Savage Executive Podcast, Steve Smith walks through a practical leadership framework called the Culture Audit — five diagnostic questions that reveal what is actually happening inside your organization beneath the surface.
This is not about slogans, mission statements, or branding.
It’s about:
- What leadership actually rewards
- What dysfunction gets tolerated
- How decisions really get made
- The stories shaping your organization
- Why top performers quietly leave
Steve also shares the real story of how their school confronted culture drift, rebuilt leadership alignment, addressed toxic communication, and ultimately achieved the lowest turnover rate in the history of the organization.
Whether you lead a business, church, school, nonprofit, or team, this episode will challenge you to see your culture clearly so you can lead it intentionally.
Because culture does not change accidentally.
It changes intentionally.

- Leadership culture audits
