Human Rebellion Podcast Ep. 2: The formula to human-centric culture change.

Welcome to the Human Rebellion podcast, where I talk with business leaders, authors and HR disruptors on how to build amazing company cultures centered around purpose, people-first mindset, and love for one another.
The podcast is part of the Human Rebellion platform, a grass-root community of conscious leaders and HR rebels who want to build a better workplace together. To learn more, visit www.humanrebellion.com.

This month, our guests are Mita Mallick, Head of Inclusion, Equity and Impact at Carta, Louis Efron, Author and Founder at The Voice of Purpose, and Ryan McCarty, Author and Co-Founder at Culture of Good. We are discussing “creating a culture of good & purpose.”

Key takeaways:
- Culture is shaped by how people are feeling, believing and behaving according to the company’s values (Ryan).
- Culture is the DNA of an organization, who you really are as an organization and a collective of individuals (Louis).
- The strongest testament of your culture is people doing the right thing when no one is watching (Mita).
- A thriving company culture is top down and bottom up (Louis).
- Employees are our often forgotten consumers (Mita).
- People don’t embrace what leaders first don’t embody (Ryan).
- If you don’t have leadership buy-in for culture change, there is no path forward (Ryan).
- Senior leaders will be moved on if they don’t create an organization that attracts the best talent (Louis).
- Be in a place where you’re celebrated, not tolerated (Mita).
- Macro-culture vs micro-cultures. Opportunities and challenges.
- Mid-management is a conductor and reflection to a positive or toxic culture (Ryan).
- Great leaders hire for culture add, not for culture fit. They stay away from affinity bias (Mita).
- Good leaders take care of themselves (Ryan).
- Leadership, inclusion, diversity is intentional. It’s an ever-ending effort and mindset.
- It’s time to dismantle old systems and adopt a people-first mindset.
