About this episode

Chris Ross explores the metaphor of the culture canary and the importance of recognizing early signals about organizational culture.

What happens when the people who once asked the hard questions go silent? In this episode, Chris Ross explores the metaphor of the culture canary —the team members who give early signals about whether your culture is thriving or quietly slipping. From leadership blind spots to subtle shifts in energy, Chris challenges us to tune in before it’s too late.
