Company Values Masterclass with Lynn Walder, Founder & Principal of Executive Management Partners

Building Biotechs

In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Lynn Walder, our first repeat guest, to dive into the pitfalls and best practices of defining culture and core values for growing companies. There has been a shift in how companies invest in and operationalize culture over the past two decades. Lynn shares insights from her extensive experience, including the importance of early core value implementation, the challenges of aligning leadership actions with stated values, and the need for clear communication and accountability. We also discuss various assessments Lynn uses to help biotech companies define and uphold their foundational values, and how these values guide companies through times of change and crisis.
