How to build an intentional culture

Don't leave your culture up to chance. Curate your principles and values intentionally to build high-performing, harmonious teams.
March 05, 2024

By being more deliberate in outlining your team’s culture through defining vision, core values, and group principles, you’ll be able to break out of an accidental culture mold.

When a group of people comes together, their habits merge, and the consistent behaviors that form are what we call culture. Those are the unwritten norms and rules that the group follows. Distinct groups will form different rules, which can evolve naturally over time. When new individuals join, they can align their behavior with the group to fit in, or, if they’re influential, can help change the group’s practices.

If there is no active push to align a team’s goals with that of their organization, its culture will develop accidentally.
