Great read! I define culture as "how things get done at a company" - which comes down to, as you said, what skills are valued. I also think that small updates, if done with authenticity and real enthusiasm, can avoid the pitfall of coming across as political. A future article on how to maintain genuineness in the journey of career growth would be great.

Great points HJ. Amazon is a good example of a company that institutionalized Leadership Principles (LPs) through mechanisms (e.g. Hiring Bar Raiser program, two-pizza teams, narrative doc writing, etc) to build and maintain the company culture and way of working.

What do you believe is challenging about maintaining authenticity during career growth?

This a great! Hard to find anyone talking about this not on Blind. Can we define “wealth” in this context because the tiers of companies play a significant part in generating wealth. Maybe a break down on company tiers and comp packages that lead to wealth generation if you’re successful in navigating to leadership role.
