Imagine your team as a big family. Sometimes families fight, but that doesn’t mean they don’t still want to stay a family.
CultureSmithing, is like a special family meeting where everyone learns how to understand, respect, and trust each other more. It's like learning new rules for playing together nicely.
As the leader of this ‘family’ you will gain a simplified understanding of you team's dynamics and how to shape them to replace ambiguity with alignment.
Most of these services focus on plans and strategies. The value is having an unbiased third party in the room to referee conflict and keep the sessions moving along without going down rabbit holes or veering off track.
We go deeper - and explore the biases and blindspots others who lack our tools and expertise cannot.
Additionally, from the moment the door closes, we begin distilling everything uncovered into a simplified, shared language. While all planning sessions result in at least some increased clarity, ours is one of the few with the proven emotional intelligence tools that ensure the clarity ensures long after the session ends.
Vision and mission statements are like the destination on a map; they tell you where you want your organization to go.
Core Values are meant to be speed limits and traffic signs that keep you on track as you progress to that destination. Unfortunately they routinely fail to deliver.
Ask yourself - why do we have speed limits? To keep people safe. Then ask yourself how often you speed, and how many times you’ve hurt someone while speeding.
Each time you speed and no one gets hurt, the value of speed limits gets disconfirmed by your brain.
Each time a leadership team sets Collaboration and Integrity as Core Values, and someone intentionally cc’s the boss on a email to get someone in trouble…the value of your core values gets disconfirmed too.
CultureSmithing reveals the observable behaviours that are the non-negotiable drivers of your company’s success. There is simply nothing else like it.
Well, as the name implies, this is not team-building. It’s CultureSmithing. And that’s something we take seriously.
Team-building and communication workshops are often band-aids. People feel great during and shortly after the session, but the sessions themselves offer information and education over real behaviour change.
Our service is more like a vaccine - it addresses the root cause and helps prevent future problems from arising. You will walk away with a concrete sense of what’s important, why it matters, the discipline required to achieve it, and the emotional blindspots that will do everything they can to make that discipline fall apart.
The entire process is spread over five sessions 3-hour sessions, with 30 days between each. During these 30 day windows, self-directed work is sent to all participants to keep everyone engaged, but moving at their own pace.
We have specifically engineered the entire program to minimize the amount it interrupts your regular workflow. However, all time spent in the program should be considered an investment of time now to save a lot more time dealing with conflicts and misunderstandings later.
A growing company means more people. People with their own unique personalities, emotions and needs.
When a team grows fast, these differences often leave people feeling lost or disconnected. Our process helps everyone find their place and understand how they fit in the bigger picture. It creates a shared identity that transcends physical workspaces, offering a deep sense of belonging and connection.
Not only does this crystallize your culture, when paired with our HireEQ service, it allows you to rapidly assess and screen new employees ensuring the culture we help you build through this process remains intact as you continue to add new people to it.
The shared identity our process helps you establish does two things in this regard.
First it kills ambiguity which is a major cause of low safety in teams.
Second, it enables all conflict within teams to go from unhealthy relational conflict, to ultra-healthy task-based conflict.
It is a myth that psychologically safe teams are those free of conflict. Psychologically safe teams are the ones with enough safety established for conflict to happen without it tearing the team apart.
If you are a leader who has heard about the virtues of psychological safety, but haven’t yet figured out how to make it happen for your team - this is the service you’ve been looking for.
A Players are the superstars of your team, excelling in both culture and competence. They align with the company's values and consistently demonstrate top-notch skills. You can trust them to lead the way, embodying the spirit of the organization while delivering remarkable results.
B Players share the values and spirit of your organization but may need a little help sharpening their skills. They're committed to the team and show high potential. With targeted training and support, B Players can grow into exceptional contributors, fully aligned with the company's mission.
C Players have the skills and expertise to get the job done, but they may not quite fit the cultural vibe of your organization. They perform well in their roles, but their attitudes or behaviors may clash with team values. While they are tolerated for their competence, a keen eye should be kept on their cultural alignment to ensure team harmony.
D Players struggle in both competence and alignment with the company's culture. They may lag in performance and often seem disconnected from the team's values and goals. While it's a difficult decision, terminating D Players may be necessary to maintain the team's integrity, opening opportunities for others who fit better with the organization's vision.
