The Culture Signal You’re Ignoring

The Culture Signal You’re Ignoring
Signals of Culture 🎨 Visual Energy Inspired By Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Culture isn’t defined by the mission statement.
Or the posters in the hallway.
Or what’s said at the all-hands.

Culture is how it feels to log in on a Monday.

It’s how people show up in meetings.
It’s how safe it feels to speak honestly.
It’s how much energy your team brings to the table—when no one’s watching.

And the signal is always there.

In the sigh before a meeting starts.
In the silence after a question is asked.
In the faces that say, I’m here, but I’m not really here.

We ignore these signals because they’re subtle.
Because they’re not on a dashboard.
But they matter more than metrics.


You can’t fix what you don’t feel.
And culture is a feeling first.

So check in.
Not just with the numbers—
But with the humans behind them.

Start listening to the energy.
