Have You Said It 11 Times? | Jonathan Austin, Best Companies
About this podcast
Welcome to The Human CEO — the podcast about building organisations that work, on purpose.
Culture happens wither way. Culture architecture makes it intential.
To us, culture isn’t one thing, it’s built from seven interlocking architectures: Leadership, Talent, Capability, Communication, Reward, Performance and Experience. When you get these right you get sustainable behaviour: people who make strong decisions without being told to, over and over, without you in the room. Get them wrong, and no amount of values-on-the-wall will fix it.
Each episode, we talk to CEOs and business leaders about how they’ve actually built their organsiational culture: the decisions, trade-offs and systems behind teams that perform consistently, not just occasionally.
These are working conversations for people building something real, not theory for people who like talking about culture.
Subscribe for insight into how the best leaders architect performance, one system at a time.
