You built the culture. You set the standard. But some people still aren’t on board. Now what? Culture isn’t about forcing people to fit. It’s about making your values so clear that those who align with them are naturally drawn in. When you build culture with intention, those who align with your values will find their place. If that’s not happening, it’s time to reflect on what might be missing. In the latest episode of Lead the People, Matt Poepsel, PhD is joined by Amber Bardon to explore how leaders can build a culture that attracts a team truly aligned with their values. ??

Amber Bardon knows that growth isn’t just about moving fast, it’s about learning from failure. On the Lead the People podcast, she got real about the challenges of scaling a company, making tough hiring decisions, and why keeping the wrong people too long does more harm than letting them go. One of the biggest lessons she’s learned? Transparency and accountability are everything. You can’t just build a great culture, you have to protect it. And sometimes, that means making hard choices. Amber’s journey proves that failure isn’t the end; it’s just part of the process. Check out the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gzr4YpUT What’s a lesson you’ve learned from failure?
