Agnes Foy is a seasoned lawyer who moved from the City to the startup world.

We discussed:

• why the startup mindset is different to that in large organizations based in the City of London;
• how women can foster a supportive and collaborative work environment;
• why codes of conduct are taking centre stage and how this is connected to the legal profession;
• how the lawyer mindset generates a siege mentality and a lose-lose outcome that’s bad for culture;
• whether HR should be handling culture issues and how it acts as a tool of management;
• the FCA’s stance on non-financial misconduct and effecting cultural change;
• how #metoo has shifted the dial and made men also understand they can call out bad behavior; and
• why “leaning in” is simply endorsing a toxic environment and doesn’t work for men or women.
