Culture Playbook: Creating A Feedback Culture That Sticks

Welcome to your step-by-step guide on establishing a culture of feedback within your startup. This playbook is designed to help startup people leaders initiate and embed feedback and growth mindset. Some of the following are probably true:

👉 Teams are exhausted by surveys but you still want to understand where the continuous improvement opportunities are in your ways of working

👉 You can’t “see” where the opportunities are for improvement, where teams need help and what kind of help they need and from who

👉 You are looking for a more human and engaging way to run an all-hands retrospective on company culture

👉 You want to get a heat-map of improvement themes across all teams that includes insights into how supported folks are from managers, suitable process/tools, clarity and alignment to mission and more
