Culture Playbook: Creating Clarity With Documentation, Your Transparency Charter

Welcome to your step-by-step guide on creating clarity with documentation. This playbook is designed to help startup people leaders define what ought to be transparent in their culture aka ways of working. You need this playbook if some of the following are true:

👉 Folks are complaining about lack of visibility on certain things (e.g. decisions made, finances, operational changes, development & pay)

👉 ‘transparency’ is a core value but still isn’t defined, and it’s being weaponised against you

👉 Employees seem confused about what you share, what you don’t share and why.
