Leader, Be Not Afraid
There is no doubt that you, as a leader, have a powerful effect on the team culture, both in terms of being a role model, and as the one who either welcomes or stifles honest discussion. It is quite natural for leaders to find that responsibility daunting, if not frightening. The culture, of course, is not a one-person affair, so leaders who take feedback personally miss the point. Every member of your team dreams of contributing to the team’s success, being challenged to reach their full potential, and feeling both supported and encouraged by a group of people they respect and admire. So, allow those dreams to be voiced and hand over responsibility for company culture in a bold and undeniable way.
Give Permission to Your Team
In my work I find that culture never appears on the list of topics to be discussed at a morning meeting. The subject finds its way into small talk in the office and conversations among friends and family members outside the workplace. There is an implied rule that talk of cultural issues is not welcome and a risky political maneuver. Leaders who understand the importance of fostering a healthy, open dialogue about culture will provide the space and permission necessary to keep the culture moving in the right direction and do so on a regular and consistent basis.
Describe Your Team’s Cultural North Star
Creating a healthy team culture is an matter of intention, so taking the time to describe the defining aspirations, behaviors, and features, i.e., a North Star, will provide everyone with a framework for making decisions in everything from recruiting, hiring, rewarding performance, and day-to-day interactions.
Establish Rituals and Traditions
Once your “North Star” is in place, the next step is to bring it to life by creating a set of rituals and traditions designed to strengthen the culture on a regular basis. The use of the pre-flight checklist is a perfect example. Rotating leaders for regular meetings is another tradition that I have seen work well. The important element in establishing these rituals is that the spirit behind the practice be both genuine and sincere, not meaningless or sarcastic.
Culture Is An Everyday Experience – Treat It That Way
While “retreats” (or as some now call them, “advances”) are good venues for creating a shared vision, the role of culture is too important to relegate it to a day or two each year. Culture should be on your team’s agenda every day, whether that be a meeting topic, or simply an intentional act to honor and enhance the team experience.
