Cultural Signals for a
High-Performing Organization

1. Trust:

A culture built on trust is foundational to success. When team members trust one another and leadership, collaboration flourishes, and innovation thrives. At Taligens, we help our clients make trust (and distrust) tangible and observable, so that teams can work on it.

2. Direct Open Feedback:

Constructive conflict is key to driving performance in teams. When individuals are comfortable handling conflict as a team, greater trust is built, talent is developed, and innovation happens. Creating practices to share feedback is key to a strong culture.

3. Ownership and Accountability:

Individuals taking ownership of their actions and commitments is a hallmark of a healthy culture. When accountability falters, so too does performance. We help foster cultures where people take pride in delivering on their commitments.

4. Shared Commitment:

Bridging silos is a key challenge in today’s global workplace. By instituting new practices of shared commitment, organizations can achieve the collaboration needed to drive performance and innovation.

5. Customer Focus:

Organizations talk about putting customers first but rarely achieve this. With greater curiosity and listening to the concerns of internal and external customers, one can accelerate the value delivered across an organization.

By paying attention to your cultural signals, and taking proactive steps to address any areas of concern, you can steer your organization towards a culture that not only survives but thrives in today's dynamic business landscape.
