Becky Baybrook's work starts from the belief that organizations reveal who they are in the ways they respond to setbacks and tests of integrity, and that the same is true for individuals—especially leaders—in companies of any size. Becky has spent decades now going deep on and helping companies and their leaders through such pivotal moments.

In this conversation, Becky and I dig deep into workplace culture. We explore some vexing questions around belonging and psychological safety, how Millenials are changing management. One area that I think listeners will find especially useful is a discussion we have about what the elements that make up workplace culture, and tactically, how you can get a good read on a culture from the outside if you're considering working with an organization.
