Work is something you do, Culture is something you live.
Every day was a good day at Mercatus, even when the pressure was on, because we had an amazing work culture. There’s no set formula for creating good work Culture, but I will say that it starts with hiring the right people and having the support of your executive team. And, like any relationship, it requires effort, love and authenticity.
Being part of the Culture Team wasn’t part of my job description, but the time I spent helping design and foster our culture was one of the best investments I made through my years at Mercatus. We did so much! And we had a lot of fun.
