“Khalil Smith is a rare thinker who brings a fresh, masterful perspective to diverse subjects, from behavioral science to leadership to inclusion. In The Performance Culture, he combines those elements into a powerful model of organizational life. Building organizations that work for everyone requires a trip into the human mind, shared values, and identity. Smith is a consummate guide on that journey.”
