246. Party at the DMV: When Meta-Culture Shapes Workplace Culture

How does the broader culture of your location influence your organization’s internal culture?In episode 246 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore how meta-culture—the broader geographic or societal environment—shapes the internal culture of organizations. From experiences at the DMV to moving company headquarters, they share insights on how values interact with location. Topics explored in this episode: (2:44) Organizational Culture Exists Within a Larger Culture* The macro culture of a city or state can either support or resist company values.* Remote work and multiple locations complicate maintaining a cohesive culture.(6:15) Moving Your Company* Leaders should consider not just financials but cultural fit when moving.* The meta-culture can affect hiring, operations, and team morale.* Certain locations make it easier to find people who reflect your values.* Some environments create cultural friction, while others foster cohesion.(9:35) Navigating Meta-Culture* Leaders should actively ask how geography is influencing their organization.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.
