The offsite thoughts didn't change your culture.
An ordinary Tuesday did.
We keep treating culture like a summit to climb with the big strategy day, the new values poster, the all hands speech.
Then willpower runs out by Thursday and nothing moves....know what I mean?
Here's what I'm seeing across the leaders I speak with: Culture was never built in the grand gesture.
It's built in the unremarkable, repeated behaviour nobody is allowed to skip.
Gallup's 2026 data puts global engagement at 20% — its lowest since 2020, and a roughly $10 trillion drag on the world economy.
That gap doesn't close with a keynote.
It closes with one small thing, done daily, in full view of your team.
Big change has a high activation energy…A micro habit lowers it.
This week I'll unpack how the smallest behaviours compound into the biggest cultural shifts.
Where in your week does culture actually get decided — your offsite thinking, or the ordinary Tuesday?
