The Power of Team Culture - #339

Dear Reader,

Culture is not created top-down but inside-out.

The culture of your organization is the sum of all subcultures.

Yet, team culture doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

We’re so caught up in busting silos that we forget that subcultures are where change happens.

I’ve said this many times and will say it again:

Silos are subcultures, but not all subcultures are silos.

Team culture is more powerful to:

🌟 Create a stronger sense of belonging

🌟 Improve company culture – one team at a time

🌟 Pilot new ways of working

🌟 Increase ownership and proactivity

🌟 Uncover best practices

Unlock the power of subcultures.

Stay fearless, my friend.

ONE THING FOR YOU TO TRY THIS WEEK

Distribute decision-making rights by pre-approving decisions.

Here’s how it works: Define clear guidelines for a specific topic – the criteria people should use. Any team member can identify a solution and implement it without needing further approval, as long as they operate within the pre-approved guidelines.

Afterward, they simply share what they did with the group.

You’ll likely see a more proactive team—one that’s ready to take ownership and drive results. Give it a try!
