What is at stake?
What values and culture do the founders want to integrate to their company?
Why is it important?
The culture of a company is reflected in how the team will make decisions when the founders are not in the room. It is what will empower employees to be more autonomous.
At the MVP stage, the company culture primarily allows founders to agree on a decision-making process and to bring coherence to their actions.
Three actions to take right now
1️⃣ Define the first 3-5 key values of the company among the founders
‣
2️⃣ Use these values to define the startup's processes (thus embodying the values in your daily practices)
For example, to define the customer support process, in recruitment, etc.
3️⃣ Use these values to define your management style
In particular, decide on your approach to:
- Feedback: how to encourage regular feedback? And how to welcome and respond to feedback?
- Celebrating achievements: how to highlight daily progress? and how to acknowledge the successes of each team member?
- Autonomy: how to promote initiative-taking? How to ensure important responsibilities are given and to allow employees to grow within the team?
