One leader I worked for (when our working relationship was new) continually complained to me about the people in the previous office he was based. He complained that they would come in at 9 and leave at 5! And most of them worked from home on Friday! He told me this story a number of times, which a) I didn’t give a shit about, and b) what was his point?

Inclusion is much harder than cultural fit. To get cultural fit you effectively design what you want the in crowd to be. You define behaviours and what you want the organisation to look like, and then you hold each person up to this and assess if they fit or not. It’s often working out who you like and who are like you. You end up with people with similar experiences and backgrounds.
