5. Culture is More than a Ping-Pong Table in the Office
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” It’s a common saying in the business world, and it’s also one of the most important truths that the most successful startups understand. Too many founders think that culture is as simple as putting a ping pong table in the breakroom or taking the team out for drinks once a quarter, but it’s so much more than that.
In this episode, we discuss the role culture played in the success of companies like Hammocks.com (which would later become Hayneedle), Sports Authority, and Office Depot. Plus, we get into how culture and employee engagement are directly tied to the most important business results. The great news is that investing in culture doesn’t require you to do anything big. Tune in for the whole conversation!
