  • Defining Culture: Beyond Perks, Posters, and Vibes

    Defining Culture: Beyond Perks, Posters, and Vibes
    2025/07/14

    Is culture just a “vibe”? A breakroom ping pong table? A motivational poster with core values no one remembers? The short answer - No.


    In this episode of Collaborative Culture, we go deeper.


    Join hosts Dr. Kristine Gentry and Monica Smith as they unpack what culture really is — through the lens of anthropology, leadership, and lived experience. From failed meditation mandates to strategic missteps, they expose the most common culture myths and offer a clear, actionable definition that goes far beyond the surface.


    You’ll learn:

    • Why culture is a strategic skill, not a soft one
    • The dangers of leaving culture to chance
    • How to spot culture disconnects across locations and levels
    • Real-world stories of culture fails — and successes
    • How leaders can move from performative perks to intentional, values-aligned culture


    Whether you're a CEO, people leader, or culture-curious listener, this episode will reshape how you think about the everyday actions (and inactions) that shape workplace culture.


    Culture isn’t something you bolt on. It’s the way you build everything.
