Culturati Summit

Performance rarely slips without warning.

Burnout, turnover, disengagement, and low trust are often lagging indicators. The earlier signals leaders should be watching are the conditions that help people keep performing: recovery, sustainable challenge, purpose, and connection.

In our latest Culturati: LIVE session, neuroscientist Paul J. Zak makes the case for emotional fitness as a business imperative, and for paying attention before strain becomes visible.

At 250, America is asking a question every CEO should recognize: does the promise still match the practice?

The question belongs in the boardroom as much as the public square. When counterweights weaken, leadership becomes more dependent on narrative, charisma, and the leader’s own time horizon. Culture lives in the accumulated evidence of what an institution actually rewards, protects, excuses, and punishes.

Inside last week’s On Culture:
→ Forbes: Corporate America is losing the counterweights that keep power honest
→ Associated Press: Americans see the same country through very different realities
→ Axios: Employer trust gives CEOs a larger leadership obligation
→ Fast Company: Hypocrisy teaches employees to stay silent or leave
→ The HOW Institute: Moral leadership is scarce, measurable, and tied to performance

Trust is easiest to talk about before pressure hits. The real test is what happens after.

Today on Culturati: LIVE, Paul J. Zak will explore why emotional fitness matters to how people think, connect, and perform at work. Drawing on decades of neuroscience research, he will examine how trust, emotional regulation, and physiological readiness shape cooperation, decision-making, and performance in complex environments.
