Dive into the real talk about culture—it's not broken, it's built that way, and we're here to unpack it!
About this Event

Most organizations blame culture for problems culture didn't create.

Poor communication. Lack of accountability. Manager inconsistency. Slow decision-making. Employee disengagement. These issues are often treated as people problems when they are actually system outcomes.

Join workforce operations executive and author Josiah Larkin, SPHR, for a discussion on how organizations unintentionally create the behaviors they later struggle to change. Drawing from more than fifteen years of experience leading People and Operations functions across startups, multi-site organizations, and regulated industries, Josiah will explore the hidden systems that shape workplace behavior and explain why culture is ultimately an output of organizational design.

Topics include:

  • Why culture is an output, not a root cause
  • How incentives shape behavior more than values
  • The role managers play in creating organizational norms
  • Why accountability systems fail
  • How communication breakdowns become cultural problems
  • Practical approaches leaders can use to improve organizational outcomes

Ideal for founders, executives, HR leaders, operations leaders, and managers.
