“Culture's not the poster on the wall — it's Monday morning, nine o'clock.”- Shishir Mehrotra
The Story Behind This Song
Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Coda and former YouTube VP, told Lenny that culture breaks down when it can't be transmitted. His three-part test — can you name the ritual, teach it to someone new, and have them pass it on? — came from watching YouTube scale from a small team to thousands. At Coda, new employees participate in rituals by their first Friday. At Gusto, strangers call new hires to welcome them during the offer stage.
