What does ‘making an impact’ really mean? In this episode, we explore how to make a meaningful impact, analysis paralysis, and why making mistakes can be a good thing. Tune in for one of our most exploratory episodes yet!
"Impact" is a startup buzzword, but it’s harder to know what that looks like in practice. We define impact as using our technology, talent, and teamwork to improve a situation or solve an issue. This is all important, worthy stuff, but how do we actually apply this principle in our day-to-day work?
In this episode, we spoke with monday.com’s Co-Founder and Co-CEO, a CX team lead, and CX advocate, to understand what it means to be impact-driven and what it looks like when we’re not.
Roy Mann and Eran Zinman, monday.com’s founders, together with Lior Krengel, break down the six cultural attributes that lie at the core of monday.com’s culture. They discuss how the culture of a company is formed, what impact does the hiring process have on a culture, and why we don’t believe in hanging ‘culture posters’ on the wall.

Organizational culture is one of the hottest topics these days. It doesn’t matter if you’re Alphabet's Sundar Pichai or Warriors' Steve Kerr— if you’re leading a group of people, organizational culture dominates your everyday work. It's around us all the time, whether we like it or not.
Every organization has its own culture, and something that works for one won’t necessarily work for the other. Whether it’s a five, 50, or 500-person team, part of a leader’s role is understanding the team culture. Besides understanding the culture, a good leader will be able to shape the culture to support certain behavior in his team. It’s not as easy as noting buzzwords mentioned in meetings or observing different team functions for a day or two - but the potential benefit is huge.
