Module B: Teams and culture

Why this module: Everyone says they want a "great team." Few can define it specifically enough to actually build it. This module forces that clarity. What you'll cover: The real trade-offs inside "good culture" (warm vs slick, stable vs innovative, flexible vs fair) and which side is actually yours What a great team really is: not conflict-free or always-agreeing, but safe to disagree and courageous with each other The SAVE framework: Safe, Aligned, Valued, Empowered, as a practical structure, not an aspiration Organisational psychology: what genuinely motivates people, and how hiring, promotion and firing decisions either build or quietly undermine your culture You'll walk away with: A specific, decision-ready definition of the culture you're building, not a vague ideal Clarity on which levers (interpersonal norms, recognition, psychological safety) actually move the needle for your team Which actions you're currently doing that probably AREN'T getting your bang for your buck in terms of motivation and engagement A realistic guide to buzzwords like psychosocial safety, toxicity, and the right to disconnect
