And unfortunately, it’s likely your path to failure as a full-grown adult human.
SO MANY messages about “professionalism” and “be serious.” It’s not shocking then that many leaders fall victim to the ideas that seriousness, discipline, and relentless productivity are the keys to success. But research — and real-world experience — prove otherwise. In this episode, Jenn Whitmer breaks down the hidden cost of “serious leadership” and why joy, play, and connection create stronger, more effective teams.

Every leader should be able to answer this one question: Why do you do what you do? Whether it’s a casting broken bones, serving a chai latte, or building aircrafts. That question —Why? — is so important because that is what shapes workplace culture.

But at it’s best, it’s a wonderful definition of culture. Moe Carrick, workplace culture expert, defines the sometimes squishy term “culture” with “that’s how we do things here.” I love that definition for a few reasons. 1 - It implies that if ignored culture will still be there 2- It means you have to live out your values in order to influence the culture.
