What's on your mind? Let CX Passport know...
How do you actually build a culture that sticks — one that survives chaos, grows talent, and actually gets results?
Eric Stone has spent nearly 30 years leading through culture. From building the “think tank” inside Enterprise Rent-A-Car to crafting his own hourglass framework, Eric takes us through real-world stories that show culture is more than posters and values. It’s behaviors in action.
