Fix A Broken Team Culture

There's beauty in being brief.

So, instead of my bi-weekly rambling story filled with puns and links, I'm actually giving you the TL;DR.

TL;DR: I wrote a new guide on how to reset team culture through crafting a leadership mandate.

It's three preliminary steps, four specific action items, and a FAQ designed to fix team disengagement, trust issues, and/or constant tension. Definitely not brief, but it's specific.

Better Communication Helps Too

You know what also helps build a healthy team culture? Good communication.

This newsletter is chock full of guides. Here's one more:

My longtime Accountabilibuddy and podcast cohost Alycia Angle and I created a guide that documented our own process for self-discovery, what we call the 30-Day Question Challenge. We did it in 2021, found amazing success, and decided to bring it back for Q2 of 2024.

It's a great guide for people seeking clarity in their goals, life purpose, invisible roadblocks, and more.

It's 30 questions over 30 days and we're starting on April 1st.

If you want to join us on the journey, write back to this email and we'll get you going.

Plan for a better new year,

Dan from Learn to Scale

A bi-weekly roundup of feelings more common than you thought April 27 - May 10 Is This Why You Open Your Laptop with a Sigh? This week alone, four different people described the same feeling and each one thought they were the only ones who felt that way. FOUR! Each one led their business in some way and had responsibilities and long-term goals. I was able to identify the signs of what they were feeling because I too have the same feelings: It's the feeling that upon opening the laptop, or...

Hundreds of startup enthusiasts, investors, service providers, and students milling about a converted warehouse. Espresso bars scattered around serving handmade lavender lattes. Large standing tables on the main floor where nerds are furiously tapping away at email, ignoring the conference around them. In the parking lot, mostly men in sport jackets and...

A bi-weekly roundup of cultural building blocks March 30 - April 12 The Mundane Building Blocks of a Great Corporate Culture In the last TL;DR newsletter, I shared some very brief commentary and a link to an exhaustive new blog post around resetting team culture.

I had a client recently share the results...
