MAINTAINING THE CULTURE

Focus on Psychological Safety

  • There is no wrong answer. Ok, sometimes there is. But people should feel like it’s ok to sometimes get it wrong. As a leader, don’t shame or ignore people who say something you think is not value-adding.
  • Genuinely thank people for being part of the conversation. Acknowledge their effort publicly.
  • Build upon what others say. Be clear it’s all part of the greater conversation and their voices matter.

Build Trust

Clear interdependencies are important, so emphasize them during the strategic meetings or company calls. If the development team doesn’t deliver projects on time, the sales team won’t be able to convince customers to buy the product or customers won’t be satisfied. Only a well-oiled machine achieves success!

BUILD EMPATHY

Encourage Rotations
