208. YOU ARE the Culture!

Teresa Rand
About this episode

Culture isn’t a policy, a perk, or a poster—it’s YOU. Every choice you make either builds or breaks your workplace culture. In this week’s solo episode, Teresa explores one of the most critical questions in leadership and business: Who is responsible for company culture?
Leaders often believe culture is set at the top. Employees sometimes assume it’s HR’s responsibility. But the truth is, culture is co-created every single day—through our words, actions, and even the smallest interactions. Teresa unpacks the shared responsibility between leaders and teams and offers practical steps you can take to create a culture worth being proud of.
Whether you lead a company, a department, or simply yourself, this episode will challenge you to think about how you’re shaping the environment around you.
