Decoding and Shifting Team Culture From Any Seat
summary
Framework for reading unwritten rules and a clear playbook for changing them from any role claims the talk, with three influence moves you can model immediately, five signals to watch (who speaks first how failure is handled what gets celebrated what stories repeat what stays unsayable), and use Claude openly as an example practice. It shows concrete interview questions, a postmortem ownership change after model drift, and slow repeated actions that were actually enough to shift real team behaviour.
