Culture eats strategy for breakfast

A strong school culture isn't just a 'vibe', it's a strategic asset. In this episode of Yard Duty we explore culture. How do schools build (or rebuild) a culture that supports learning, inclusion, and wellbeing? What's more important, strategy or culture? We go deep into the importance of psychological safety and the role compliance plays in culture. We explore culture in three layers: through artifacts, espoused values and underlying assumptions. We discuss the merits of cultural audits and when and why you might need 're-culturing' in your school. Culture really does eat strategy for breakfast. But only if it’s well-fed.
