Organisational culture: a social enterprise perspective with Naomi Hulston, Catch22
Manage episode 366149936 series 3484525
Naomi Hulston is the chief executive of Catch22, a social business with a social mission, which has a long and rich history in innovative public service work.
Naomi describes herself as a ‘relatively new CEO’ but is not new to the organisation she leads. Having worked at all levels across Catch22 for 21 years she understood its culture inside and out when she took the helm. But she’s not been afraid to make big changes to its operational practices, bringing in thoughtful workplace wellbeing ideas which have boosted morale and staff retention.
She reflects on accountability, transparency, leadership and how to foster an 'intentional' culture in this episode, and leaders of all types of organisation will find her ideas, born from practical experience, invaluable.
She also reflects on how to harness support for the care profession into the future, why social enterprises have such people-centred cultures and what that means for their partners in public service delivery.
There's even an amazing story about the Rolling Stones.
