Lesson 2: Making Culture the Fabric of How You Do Work | Suzy Welch

The fabric of society. The fabric of our community. When we talk about what holds things together, we often describe it as a fabric — something interwoven, essential, and enduring. In an organization, culture plays the same role: it creates the conditions for how work gets done. In this video lesson, Professor Suzy Welch shows how leaders can intentionally craft this fabric, using a five-step framework to weave values into daily actions and create a workplace where behaviors align with goals and purpose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Suzy Welch: An award-winning NYU Stern School of Business professor, tech entrepreneur, and three-time New York Times best-selling author, Suzy Welch is known for imparting warmth and wisdom about business and culture, captivating an enthusiastic and expanding audience.
