287 | Culture Busters: What Every Leader Needs to Know to Protect a Healthy Team

We’re throwing it back to an oldie but a goodie on the LeadCulture Podcast—an episode that laid the foundation for Jenni Catron’s USA Today Bestselling book Culture Matters.

This is the first of a two-part series where Jenni dives into the everyday realities of leadership and the forces that build or bust a healthy culture.

In this episode, we’re talking Culture Busters—those subtle, often unintentional habits and behaviors that quietly erode trust, misalign your team, and weaken your influence as a leader. Jenni shares real-life stories and practical insights to help you spot what’s undermining your team culture before it spirals out of control.

If you've ever found yourself thinking:

• “Why does our culture feel off?”
• “I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something’s broken.”
• “Why aren't our values showing up in our behavior?”

…this episode will give you the clarity and tools to name the problem and start shifting the culture in the right direction.

🎧 Tune in now and get a behind-the-scenes look at the early conversations that shaped Culture Matters. It’s honest, practical, and a perfect companion to the book.

And don’t miss part two next week—where we’ll explore what it actually takes to be a Culture Builder.
