  • Summary

  • Boeing has recently seen one of the most public meltdowns over corporate culture. In 2024 alone, there have been multiple incidents, allegations, and reports about the company in the public arena. The company is under investigation by numerous governmental agencies. Several news organizations have reported a ‘toxic’ culture at the company, and there are ripples throughout the worldwide aviation industry. In such a situation, the question for any organization is how it thinks about turning around its culture. In this special five-part podcast series, Sam Silverstein, the most trusted voice in America on accountability, and Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, look at the ways a company in the depths of such a situation can plan out and take concrete steps to turn around and rebuild its culture. In Part 2, we consider the mandatory role of corporate leadership in a culture transformation. The role of leadership in cultural transformation within organizations is a topic that holds great relevance in today’s corporate world. Experts like Tom Fox and Sam Silverstein widely agree that the success of an organization’s cultural transformation heavily relies on its leaders. Tom Fox, a renowned expert, opines that everything rises and falls on leadership, emphasizing that senior leaders are vital in setting the direction and maintaining the organization’s culture. His perspective is shaped by the belief in the importance of trust in the culture and the commitment of leaders to protect and defend the culture. Similarly, Sam Silverstein, another leading voice in the field, also believes in the crucial role of leadership in cultural transformation. Silverstein’s viewpoint is that senior leadership sets the tone for the organization’s culture, and their commitment to prioritizing and defending that culture is essential. He argues that genuine commitment to values such as quality, ethics, and valuing people will ultimately drive bottom-line results. Both Fox and Silverstein’s perspectives distinctly underline the importance of leadership in driving cultural transformation.
