Description

What if the secret to rapid culture change isn't a top-down mandate, but giving your people permission to define who they want to be?

In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Erika Schaeffer discusses with Nellie Wartoft how Genworth Financial transformed its post-IPO culture in under 18 months by prioritizing executive accountability, authentic engagement, and celebrating wins—from community service to costume parties—proving that culture change doesn't have to feel like a campaign.
