What Does It Take to Build a Values-Driven Culture? with Shane Jackson
"The essence of what we do is making sure that people all over the country, in all 50 states, when they're in a moment where they need care, medical care, there are the right caregivers in the right place at the right moment." - Shane Jackson

Join Jason for a compelling conversation with Shane Jackson, President of Jackson Healthcare, a dynamic leader at the helm of one of America’s most recognized healthcare workforce organizations. He is an author of two influential books and the leader of an organization celebrated for its workplace culture.
In this episode, Jason and Shane delve deep into the work of building cultures that truly attract and retain talent. Together, they unpack the realities behind “purpose-driven” workplaces, clarify the vital role of authentic leadership, and share practical wisdom about embedding values at the center of organizational life.
Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:
👉 Leaders have a disproportionate influence on culture; how they treat others sets the expectation for everyone else.
👉 Purpose can’t be fabricated or performed. Real engagement comes when leaders clearly articulate their authentic purpose and allow people to self-select in.
👉 Codifying a culture through values and beliefs isn’t enough, they must be modeled by leaders and reinforced consistently, down to who gets hired and fired.
👉 The most effective (and hardest) tool for keeping values central: holding people accountable, even if it means walking away from someone who isn’t a cultural fit.
