Description

Are you leading a company that’s growing faster than its culture can keep up? In this episode, Fractional COO Tim Peterson flips the script on leadership, arguing that culture doesn’t necessarily start at the top. He shares how successful organizations evolve by listening to their people, embracing change, and keeping curiosity alive even through chaos. From 130-year-old global brands to the unpredictable energy of LinkedIn debates, Tim explores how openness and authenticity fuel growth that lasts. He reminds us that the best leaders aren’t afraid to challenge bad ideas, spark real conversations, and let culture rise from every level of the business.
