EP9: “Culture Fit" Is Not a Gut Feeling

Hey un-Corporate Leader,

Welcome to Episode 9 of the un-Corporate Leader Podcast — where this week we tackle one of the most misused phrases in leadership: culture fit.

You know what it's like — something feels off with a team member, and you can't quite put your finger on it. So you call it a culture fit issue. But if that's all you've got, that's a problem — and a legal and bias risk you don't want to ignore.

Handled correctly though, culture fit is one of the most powerful tools you have as a leader. The key? You have to actually define it.

In this week's episode, we'll cover:

Why "culture fit" without definition is a slippery slope full of bias and legal risk

What culture fit actually means — and why it's about the HOW, not just the WHAT

How to define your culture in behavioral terms so you can hire, manage, and have real conversations with confidence

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode. 🎙️
