Great discussion of building a culture. This class was very practical - it defined how to think about the culture, how to implement the ideas and how to monitor and update the culture.

Interesting course. Makes one realize that while there are common themes for success, changing culture within established companies is a very real (and often very difficult) challenge.

This course provides some nice tools to take concrete actions toward improving culture. I enjoyed the first follower video and other examples provided throughout to illustrate concepts.

Over all a bit lenghty, interesting subject but a bit too long over two hours, I would have appreciated more real life examples instead of multiple definitions
