Your Workplace Culture Is Broken — Here's How to Fix It Without Burning Everything Down

People are burned out, afraid to speak up, and going through the motions in jobs that stopped feeling meaningful long ago. Most leaders know something is wrong and have no idea where to start fixing it without triggering the very resistance that made it toxic in the first place. Rich Cruz joins Lisa Urbanski with the kind of wisdom that is both practical and surprisingly fun — because as the author of Hermie the HR Hermit Crab he has built an entire framework for culture transformation that uses humor to break down walls before the hard conversations begin. What he shares about what psychological safety actually means in practice and why your team is craving it even if they cannot name it, how to build a strong unified culture without overhauling everything at once, and why change is always messy but never optional will give you the most immediately actionable and genuinely enjoyable workplace culture framework you have encountered. You do not need to burn it all down to build something better.
