From the editorial team at LinkedIn, I'm Jesse Hemple and this is Hello Monday, a show about the changing nature of work and how that work is

changing us. So in my first week of work here at LinkedIn, my boss Dan called me out.

It was kind of embarrassing.

We were coming out of a meeting where I had been scrolling through my cell phone.

I hadn't really thought that much about it.

I did it all the time at my last job.

But Dan pulled me aside and he said, we don't look at our smartphones during meetings here.

Sure enough, I began to look around. We don't look at our smartphones during meetings here.

Sure enough, I began to look around and smartphones were all turned off and mostly hidden from view.

Dan's correction was one of the many small actions that pile up to determine a company's culture.

And the culture is key to how we get things done at work, at LinkedIn and everywhere else.

When a culture works, work works.

But how about when it doesn't? Man a culture works, work works.

But how about when it doesn't?

Like when an office feels downright toxic.

Can you change how you expect people to work together?

You do have to move the culture,

you can't dictate the culture.

That's Ben Horowitz.
