1st try...

Hey guys!

What is Caelum's culture?

Ahn... our culture is...

?

First of all...

Culture?

"Attitudes and behavior characteristic of a particular social group"

2nd try...

So...

What makes us different from other places your worked before?

That was better!

Still...

All tangible stuff

Is that all?

We need to...

Go deeper!

3rd try...

What do we are

(or do)

that is so natural we don't even talk about it?

Now, answers were more like...

Now... that's what we're talking about!

Once you know what your culture is...

develop awareness

And remember...

The bigger part of cultural changes are passive

They surreptitiously happen

No denial

Change happens

It's not necessarily bad

Everyone can change a culture

(that means you can change it, too)

But how?

Baby steps!

Focus on a smaller group

Experiment on it!

After a while...

ask for feedback

Seriously...

freaking ask for feedback

Only then...

Find your people

Plan scaling

with your peers!

Frequently

Re-assess

the plan and progress

Build a community

Don't assume you are always right

Don't give up too easy, either

So...

Wanna find out your current culture?

Ask people  what is

  so natural

you don't even talk about it

Wanna change your culture?

Start small

and

Gather feedback

Culture

Discover and evolve yours
