What is the Scalable Culture Through Leadership course about?
When leaders rotate in or out of cross-functional programs, cultural assumptions shift, priorities blur, and alignment decays. Traditional onboarding focuses on tasks, not context or influence patterns. The result: repeated context-switching costs, misaligned execution, and loss of institutional rhythm. Without systemic support, even skilled leaders inherit fragmented baselines.
