Hello, what is your opinion on the concept of "cultural fit" in an organization? On one hand I could see how this concept could be exclusionary. On the other hand I have seen many examples where cultural fit and cultural misfit have had a huge impact.

So it makes sense for both parties to seek a cultural fit. I've seen a number of candidates also reject job offers for this reason.
It seems to me that one risk is that we’ll exclude talented people whom we think won’t “fit in”, for reasons bordering on prejudice and even racism.
Sometimes, cultures need a jolt.
