Meet Diane Spiegel, Cultural Expert, Executive Coach at Leaderology, adjunct faculty at University California Irvine and Culture Curator. I had the pleasure of working with Diane when she was Chief People Officer at Opus Bank and I was Chief Innovation Officer there. During our time as colleagues, we talked about a lot, but we spent hours on many trips talking about the ins and outs of culture. With 2020 being the year it has with the way we work, the way we connect, and the way we communicate all changing, I thought it would be a great time to reconnect with Diane and discuss more about culture.
Culture encompasses a lot of things from hiring to firing to the way a company lives and breathes on a daily basis. Culture is the DNA that makes up a company and attracts talent, it is what makes people feel passionate and comfortable. Listen below as Diane and I discuss the different components of a successful culture and what financial services can do specifically to improve.
