How is your Culture? Rules of Belonging at Work with Fiona Robertson
Show Notes

This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Fiona Robertson who is a Culture Change expert. 

We chat culture - what it is and what it isn't and how culture is often mistaken as engagement!  

Fiona talks about how culture is the system and the rules that determine what it takes to belong and to fit into a group. We discuss how often people will do almost anything to fit into a group. We also talk about how engagement can be confused with culture where as engagement is how people engage with that system. 

We also talk about unwritten rules and behaviours of groups and how these are interpreted plus how strategy and culture can work together. 

Fiona is so passionate about culture that she has written a book, called the 'Rules of Belonging'. I'm sure that you will find this chat as fascinating as I did and it will give you great insight into the world of culture.
