In this thought-provoking episode, they tackle the pressing question: What drives workplace success—hiring for culture fit or culture add? Together, they dive into the intersection of leadership values, organizational culture, and employee motives to uncover what truly creates high-performing teams.

Rob’s Take:
“Determining employee ‘fit’ is a critical yet often misunderstood challenge. Fit isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about understanding the right category, whether it’s employee-job fit, organization-employee fit, or culture fit. If we don’t evaluate fit with intention and clarity, we risk taking a scattered approach to hiring.”
