EP22 - Shaping Organisational Culture: What Healthcare Can Learn from a Business School

I’ve been thinking a lot about organisational culture lately, especially in healthcare, where the stakes are so high and the pressures never seem to let up.

In this episode, I explore what healthcare can learn from business schools when it comes to shaping culture intentionally, not just letting it evolve by default. This is a conversation about leadership, systems, and the everyday behaviours that quietly define how teams function, whether we realise it or not.

What You’ll Discover

- Culture Is What You Tolerate: Why organisational culture is shaped less by values on a wall and more by the behaviours leaders allow and reinforce every day.

- Learning from Business Schools: How structured thinking around leadership, feedback, and performance can transform how healthcare teams operate.

- From Intent to Action: Why culture change only happens when systems, incentives, and behaviours are aligned, not just when intentions are good.

What really stayed with me while reflecting on this topic is how easy it is to underestimate culture because it feels intangible. But in reality, it shows up everywhere, in how people speak up, how decisions are made, and how safe teams feel to learn and improve. And in healthcare, that directly impacts patient care.

If you’re leading a team or shaping an organisation in any way, this episode is an invitation to look a little closer at the culture you’re creating, intentionally or not.
