Corporate culture: how to crack the culture code | Jitske Kramer

How do you crack the culture code and build the best workplace culture? Corporate anthropologist Jitske Kramer explains how people shape cultures. People shape cultures and cultures shape people, through interaction and decision-making. Jitske Kramer takes you from a voodoo priest's question about where you come from to the Ram Nami in India, who built a strong community from a shared story, rituals and a few clear norms. You learn the difference between bullet point meetings and campfire conversations, why Harry the odd bird matters, how sabotage starts, and how power & love keep a tribe in balance. For leaders, HR and anyone who works on culture. Try this: ask your team if you have enough campfire conversations, and what stops you from having more.
