  1. Hi Shonette,
    Hi Shonette,

    Thanks for the coffee break! I enjoyed the article about culture turnaround because it breaks down how new CEOs immediately institute new values. Implementing these values requires the support of management and new hires alike, but it still takes time. I think that diving into the day-to-day of culture building is interesting, and recently published an article that provides insights on how to make those changes. https://blog.allay.io/what-does-hockey-have-to-do-with-building-a-great-company-culture/
