Company Values vs. Culture: What Actually Drives Behavior

Your company values are not your culture and confusing the two could be holding your organization back. On this episode of The Leadership Hustle, Andrea Fredrickson and Michelle Hill break down the critical difference between company values and actual workplace culture. While many organizations proudly display their values, what truly defines culture is the behavior leaders reward, tolerate, or ignore. Andrea and Michelle explain why values are often aspirational, but culture is operational. You'll learn how leaders unintentionally create culture through daily actions, how standards shape team behavior, and why misalignment across leadership teams leads to confusion and inconsistency. If you've ever wondered why your values aren't showing up in your day-to-day operations, this episode will help you uncover what's really driving behavior inside your organization.
