Erin Jewell on Company Culture
Erin gives the basic definition of culture, in that culture can be changed at any time.
“If you are not satisfied with the culture of the team, just know that you can change. Cultures are established by a bunch of opinions that have stayed in place for periods of time.” – Erin Jewell
Some companies are afraid to change their culture, because they think that it is what defines them, and that it is a foundation for the company. But if a culture that has been propagating is unwelcoming or downright toxic, should we not consider changing it for the better?
