Ep. 95 — Culture Canaries

You’ve heard of the canary in the coal mine—what about the canary in your culture?

In this solo episode of Pillar Talk, Chris Ross introduces the idea of a culture canary—the people in your organization who speak up, ask questions, and reflect your values in action. And when they go quiet? That’s your warning sign.

This episode explores:

• Why silence is a symptom—not a strategy
• How your best people signal the health of your culture
• What leaders often miss when culture starts to erode
• How to take action before silence becomes the standard

Chris offers simple questions to help you assess what’s really going on behind the scenes—and how to protect the things that make your culture worth showing up for.
