SHOW NOTES:

WHEN DOES WHY BECOME IT IS WHAT IT IS?

Communicating is difficult, especially as the company grows in size (or is remote)
Communicating change is difficult, even when communication channels are strong
Outside of finance, tech tends to pay at the high end of salaries and perks
We’re in an interesting time of challenging economics and pressure from AI
Perks are difficult to pull back, because business success isn’t evenly rewarded
Why is positioned as open culture, or strategy, but it’s also about day-to-day behavior
It is what it is a decision, but it’s also accountability and continued viability
Most leaders are going to have to manage between Why and It is what it is in 2025
Most workers are going to have to work between Why and It is what it is in 2025
