Your Character Is Your Culture, Dave Sparkman
This week, we welcome back Dave Sparkman to the podcast to discuss his new book, Your Character Is Your Culture. Dave is the founder and managing director of SPARK Your Culture, a corporate culture advisory firm focused on helping organizations build healthy, high-performance cultures. Previously, Dave served as SVP of Culture at UnitedHealth Group, where he spent more than nine years leading culture and values initiatives across an organization of more than 300,000 employees. Before UnitedHealth Group, Dave was a partner at Arthur Andersen, leading the West Region Human Resources function. He also serves as Executive Director and Board Chair of Crossroads Career, a ministry dedicated to helping people navigate career transitions. In this conversation, Dave shares insights from his new book and explores the powerful connection between character, leadership, and organizational culture—and how the character of leaders can shape the culture and performance of an organization.
