S13 E4: Why HR Owns More Of Company Culture Than People Like To Admit (with Dani Herrera)

I swear every company says culture matters... right up until someone has to make an actual decision.

The reason decisions don’t get made quickly enough is because of the whole "culture is everyone's job" mentality, and I think it’s time for a little more nuance!

Dani Herrera and I get into why culture isn't your values page or your CEO's favorite buzzword, but instead, the behaviors your policies reward every single day.

We also unpack why HR has way more influence than we give ourselves credit for, why "best practices" is a cringey concept, and why AI is about to amplify every good (and bad) decision we've already made.
