Mike Domitrz argues that workplace culture isn't separate from individuals. Instead of blaming others, he says to examine your own behavior first. Real change starts with looking inward at your own interactions, not pointing at what "they" are doing wrong.
world. If you've heard of workplace culture, say, I've heard of it. Heard of it. That's right, and nobody relates to it. 100% true. Because see, you and I are individuals and we are not a culture. So when people talk culture, they do this. Well, you and I believe in the values, yeah, but Jesse over there, they don't follow any of them. Oh, same with Aaron, they don't follow it. So how much impact do I have on the culture if it's not about me? So today we're not going to talk about workplace culture. We're going to talk about workplace interactions. Because this is an I conversation, not a they conversation. Some of you are like, Mike, what do you mean they? You know when you're at a speaker and you think, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I know who needs to hear this. They do. Right? Some of you have done that today, right? Yeah. Yeah. But today's a look in the mirror. It's an I conversation.
