Margaret Graziano: How to Measure Company Culture (and Prove ROI) Without Guesswork

Описание: About Margaret Graziano:
Magi has spent her life reinventing herself. From a single mother at 19 working at the first Cable TV company, to leading one of the fastest-growing consultancies and becoming a best-selling author in her field of expertise, Magi has continually taken challenges and failure as lessons, and learned to move beyond her limits (both real and perceived) to live a life that inspires and contributes.
Using a unique combination of experiential coaching, science-backed development tools, and actionable strategies, Magi empowers leaders to evolve themselves and their organizational culture to meet the moment. Whether it’s change initiatives, new leadership, or cultural transformation, she partners with teams to catalyze positive change.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Margaret Graziano discuss:
● Defining organizational culture as the ecosystem that turns vision into reality
● The measurable financial impact of culture on engagement, productivity, and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization)
● How stress, distraction, and insecurity since COVID have eroded workplace performance
● Why outdated post-World War II workplace architecture blocks innovation and trust
● The real cost of meetings and how they either drain energy or inspire change

Key Takeaways:
● Explicitly teach self-regulation skills so employees can manage stress, fear, and emotional reactivity instead of letting it silently undermine performance.
● Audit meetings for cost, purpose, and energy impact, and redesign them to inspire change rather than search for blame or status updates.
● Hire and develop people based on competency, commitment to mission, and accountability rather than relying on goodwill or passion alone.
● Connect each role to a noble cause that matters beyond compensation, so employees operate from courage and belief in a positive future.

"It is the ecosystem that turns the organization’s vision into reality.” — Margaret Graziano
