Best Places to Lead · Culture
How do I build a culture people want to work in?
I host Best Places to Lead because I believe every company has the potential to be great, and culture is where that starts. One of the companies I led won Best Places to Work while making the Inc. 5000 twice, so these episodes are about cultures that perform, not cultures that just feel nice.
