Absolutely agree; talking culture to death often buries the practical steps needed to build it. What winds me up most is senior leaders relying on announcements, slogans, or campaigns to change it: they need to set the tone through their own behaviour and hold the line on anyone stepping outside the standards. Real culture forms right there.
I loved his observation that a “good” culture is one where behaviours match expectations. There is truth in this, as there is no one-size-fits-all cultural prescription; vibrant businesses in different sectors need, actually deserve, different cultures.
