com/competitive-strategy/creating-a-great-corporate-culture
… manifestations of human intellectual
achievement regarded collectively.
Case study
Imagine you are a foreigner in a random
country. People will start to ask:
● Where are you from?
● What do you usually eat?
● What are people common clothes?
● Are tacos like Taco Bell’s?
● Is it true the horses and sombreros?
● Hell Yeah! Virgin De Guadalupe & Red
Tecate.
What is culture in a
team?
Beyond the clothes
Beyond the walls
Beyond ping pong tables
Beyond recreation
Culture in a company
“It is pattern of basic assumptions and beliefs,
the learned behaviors, shared values and
norms that define the work in an organization”.

Culture in a team
Culture in a team
Culture in a team
Rituals
● For each value, there should be rituals
promoting and supporting them correctly.
● For example:
○ If a value is Collaboration, how are we promoting
teamwork between the projects, teams and
members?
○ If a value is Fun, are we really having fun in our daily
activities? How can we get to that point?
The right team
Culture in a team
The right team
● Team & Leaders are going to defend the
values.
● A new member should be engaged with the
culture, and culture should accept him.
● In some places, all members need to accept
the entrance of a new one.
● Everybody should communicate with
transparency.
● Beyond values in walls, people have values
in their mindset.
Culture in a team
The team should form the culture DNA.
"You can’t motivate people, you can
only create a context in which people
are motivated".
Prepare for changes
Culture can change throughout
time as a company grows.
From small teams
To big teams
Or HUGE teams
Culture can be complex
● How this can work on a remote team or
distributed company?
● Imagine people working in different
countries, with different customs, time
zones, and that have never seen each other
face to face.
● How can we remember all this things in a
simple and beautiful way? MANIFESTO.
Complexity in a culture
Remote culture
Some examples
● International Retreats: bring people together
often.
● Tools to have less asynchronous
conversation.
● 1 on 1’s once a week via hangouts.
Conclusion
Culture in a team
