As a leader at The Org, you are not only expected to help shape our vision, strategy, and culture - but also to embody these critical elements to your team and provide clarity about where we’re headed. To be specific:

Vision and strategy

For people at The Org, it's important to know why they are doing what they do and what the impact is towards our overall strategy. You probably constantly think and talk about why and how we do things. Don't forget that your team members may not have all the same context. Here are two things to close that gap of information and context.

• Proactively share what was discussed in leadership and other high-level meetings. Also what did we decide not to do and how was the decision made?
• Ask your team if they know why they are doing what they're doing. Remind them of it if you feel the need
• Create space for your team to share feedback on the team itself — how it’s working, what’s not clear, where priorities could shift, how you can make it better

Team morale

Working in a positive, productive, hygge-filled environment is important. We want people at The Org to be motivated and “go for it.” Do not underestimate the importance of your attitude and paying attention to the vibe of your team — and how seemingly little things can have a major impact on our daily work. Two things you can do:

• Make this a recurring item during your team meetings. How is everyone feeling this week? How is the vibe on the team?
• Address it if you feel morale is fading. Is it one person? A situation? One project? More? The P&C team is always available to help you think through how to address challenges with morale and vibe

Culture

Lead by example when it comes to culture. You should know our values by heart, but find opportunities to “do the dishes”; recognize others when they “go for it”; create the space for you and others on your team to “be a contrarian”; lead the charge to create “hygge” across your team; and when we say “learn out loud” - that often means it starts with you
