How Culture made headlines

2018 was the year Culture made the Headlines – too often for all the wrong reasons. Shaun McCarthy and Dominic Gourley look back at the year that was:

Shaun and Dominic talk about the Banking Royal Commission, Cricket Australia, ‘Toxic Culture’, ‘rotten apples’, ‘bullying and harassment’, and what some of the long-term consequences might be from some of the short-term actions taken to address these issues.

In this episode we mention Rob Murray’s presentation at our 2017 conference. Rob was formerly the CEO of Lion as well as current Chairman of Metcash and on the board of Woolworths. You can watch his presentation in full.

If 2018 was the year of raising awareness about Organisational Culture, let’s hope 2019 is the year of taking meaningful action.
