Is your organization keeping up with the company culture revolution? Aaron Schmookler is on a mission to engineer healthy company cultures through his company, YesWorks. As CEO of YesWorks, a consulting firm specializing in training and support for world class collaboration, Aaron, along with his team, work with a variety of organizations to improve their company culture. One of the ways this is done is through Teamification, building foundational structures in your business that support a healthy culture, providing experiential training for your team, and creating a culture of ongoing growth. Aaron’s mission to engineer healthier work culture continues in today’s episode!
Key Takeaways:
• Enrolling your employees in the mission, rather than forcing obedience is no simple task. No amount of traditional “leading” will get the team together and on board. Aaron has found the best way to get people enrolled is through the support of their peers.
• “Yes and…” doesn’t mean you agree with what someone just said. It opens up opportunities to pass through, around, and over struggle in the pursuit of the company mission. This can be implemented through “teamification”, 3 phases of growing behavior and culture.
• Training ourselves to have healthy cultural behaviors in our companies is, surprisingly, a lot like training a dog. We have to learn the right behavior in a non-stressful situation, then a different situation, and eventually in the stressful environment.
