Video - Inside Move America Initiative: Culture in Action with Alicia Hart and Jeanine Charlton

Alicia Hart and Jeanine Charlton of Merchants Fleet on the leadership storytelling and culture rituals, from a six-chapter narrative to a "bury the past" box, behind Move America.


Leadership storytelling and culture are what turned Move America from a strategy slide into daily behavior at Merchants Fleet, according to Alicia Hart, Chief People Officer, and Jeanine Charlton, Chief Technology Officer. They walk through the six-chapter narrative built with The Storytellers, the "bury the past" ritual, and why culture can't belong to HR alone.

"Culture is really shaped in those moments that test execution," Jeanine says, describing what changed after leaders, not HR, delivered the story themselves.
