Culture is not what an organization claims to value. Culture is what leadership repeatedly tolerates, rewards, disciplines, ignores, and promotes.

The highest level of strategic debate is to get your opponent to commit to a set of principles and then “snapping their neck” with them.

“Just kidding” is often the refuge of people who want the impact of disrespect without the accountability for it. Real humor creates connection. Cowardly humor needs a victim. Typically, these peoples’ personal relationships are in shambles.

Two questions you should ask your team once a week: 1. How are you doing? 2. How am I doing?

Talent = what we do best Passion = what we love to do Mission = the product/service that we care about putting into the world

Growth doesn’t fix broken systems or broken culture. It multiplies them.

Culture = a system that governs behavior when you’re not in the room.
