Fuzzy, Flat, and Flailing: Why Your Culture Lost Its Energy (and How to Get It Back)
Episode Summary
Your team is getting the work done, but it's just not as fun anymore. The energy that used to be there feels flatter, and you can't quite put your finger on what changed. It usually traces back to a culture that was never actually named out loud, not one that's broken beyond repair. Name it, and you can build your way back to it.
Key Points:
Culture is what actually gets rewarded, tolerated, and repeated in the small, everyday moments nobody writes down.
Communication style clashes can derail a team, especially as it grows and people who don't naturally think alike are suddenly working closely together.
Promoting internally maintains your culture, but you need to fill the skill gap first.
