Fostering Culture: The Journey from Unconscious to Conscious Leadership
Shane Jackson is president of Jackson Healthcare, a $1.5 billion healthcare staffing and technology company based in Atlanta, Georgia. For many years the company’s founder, Shane’s father, Rick Jackson, led by example, instilling a strong culture that resulted from his behaviors and decisions, without ever articulating a particular set of values to the company.
However, as the company experienced rapid growth and a leadership transition, Shane realized that sustaining the culture at scale would take purposeful activities and focus. He embarked on a journey of learning how to scale culture and discovered some things that he wished they had been doing all along.
Join Shane for an introspective look at his company‘s journey to date, how it lines up with the tenets of conscious capitalism and what it looks like in practice.
